Reading these two articles were both eye opening. I felt more inspired by Duchamp's The Creative Act article, because I feel like a victim about trying to please the viewer before myself. I feel like being a graphic design major, this is a challenge I have already faced and realized I will face for each design. Even in the classroom, for the past year I have found myself leaning towards creating pieces that I know my professor will really like vs. what I really WANT to create. I worry more so about my grade rather than my creative needs. All graphic designers will face this with clients, though. - Dick Higgins' article on Intermedia was great as well. It is nice to see that people are appreciating diversity amongst the arts and materials used. The article made me want to become amazing in various mediums rather than just miraculous in one.
