The video was pretty cool in terms of the way that data was shown through forms of image and art. I was confused because I feel like the older guy just kept saying "know your content" over and over again and nothing was explained in a way I could understand. This was also the same with the guy who talked about relating data and culture. I left the video not understanding what they meant at all by those things. I also extremely disliked the comment from the guy who said objective truth changes over time. the definition of truth is something that doesn't change and is constant, and "true." If it is still changing, then the truth has not yet been discovered. Overall, I had some problems with some of the comments of some of the narrators, but enjoyed (and always have) the artsy representation of data.

The quote I chose for my postmodern piece was, " There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world." The piece that I did to reflect this quote has a picture of four children with a gloomy, dark background. This picture also includes low opacity picture of Pennywise the clown from the book and movie IT, and a bright red balloon, also from the movie IT. This picture is 8.5 by 11 and is centered directly in the middle of the Bristol pad page. On the outside of the picture there is a bat on the right side and bat on the left side. From the bottom of these bats streaks blue and orange paint. There are green figures (sort of shaped like fireworks) above and below the picture centered in the middle. There is a black frame around the picture. Finally, uniformly throughout the art there are streaked ink blotches and dots.  The connotative level of this makes me feel tension. Sinc
