This video shows the trust people have in strangers as I wrote in my artist proposal. I got shot down by several people but with a little convincing these people trusted me enough the throw their phones.

This sequence of my photocopied hands are counting down from 5 to 1. However, the 1 is a thumbs up. It shows that from 5 to 2 there isn't any thing special until you get to number 1.

Artist Proposal
Mike Carson
Artist Proposal
1. The experiment I will be conducting will be to test peoples blind trust with something they care about very much. Their phone. The video will be a minute or two depending on how many participants I can get.
2. I plan to walk up to several different people on campus and ask for their phone, in which case I will try to convince them to trust me enough to throw it to me. This will test peoples trust in a stranger.
3. I will have someone take a video in the distance while I try to get the person to throw me his/her phone.
4.The main theme of my work is the idea of inherent trust in other humans. I believe that people were made to naturally trust other people and if I have done nothing to break these peoples trust then they will willing trust me to catch their phone.
5. I will conduct my attempts throughout the day at random spots on campus and they will be recorded by someone else on my iPhone.
6. I picked a very popular item (a phone) to portray the idea of trust so many people can relate to the feeling of throwing their phone.

Grid Art
My grid art project was inspired by the many sunsets I get to see down here in Tampa. I have a window in my room that has faced the sunsets so far this year. The image on the left was what I did as an outline with a grid art program online, the art on the left includes an ocean unlike the one on the right. The art on the right is the translation of the sunset. The hardest part about the grid art was obviously showing the transition of colors.

21st Century Technology
Mike Carson
A commonly used technology in the 21st century is the car. It is a general technology which has many forms. Cars, busses, truck, etc. The idea of the automobile has helped people and society as a whole. However, the car is not an idea that belongs only to this century, and it it not an idea that has stopped evolving either. The original concept of a car was supposedly a carriage with a once cylinder gasoline engine. This first ran in 1893. But there have been traces if the idea of a car back to the early 1800's and even earlier. Although many things that influenced the car are not necessarily technologies, there were many factors that went in to this crucial invention. Webster's dictionary defines technology as the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area. With that definition in mind, the way early humans used the idea of a wheel for things such as wheelbarrows and other utilities could be classified as technology. Later in civilization when people started to expand, such as the time of the manifest destiny, settlers used a horse and wagon. The horse and wagon was essentially the first sighting of the 'car'. A mobile that could transport humans and their materials over long distances faster and more efficiently than foot. The wagon would serve as the physical aspect of the car and the horse would theoretically be the engine. These early concepts are what contributed to the concept of the modern day car. The progression of the car and especially the technology within it has increased exponentially. Even today there are autonomous cars and that idea is increasing rapidly. To look at the evolution of technology for cars would insinuate that cars in the coming decades will be leaps and bounds more advanced than they are now. Looking at the current trends cars will be running on different forms of fuel. It is becoming more evident that gasoline is not the most efficient and safe fuel to use in cars. Cars have become electric now and maybe soon there will be another more efficient way to power a car. With the technology available today, the industry is moving towards an efficient, safe, and virtually harmless car.
