Miranda July is a filmmaker, writer and performance artist. Her videos, performances and web-based projects have been presented at impressive gallaries such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum. She is a very dedicated artist and is truly passionate about her work.
The project that interests me the most is Learning To Love You More. This is both a website and a large series of non-web collections of work made by the general public. Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher create assignments that are accepted and completed by following specific instructions. Once they complete the assignment it must be uploaded to the website. This connects to my project because these different assignments must be completed by using different forms of multimedia such as pictures, text, videos and so on. This site is ultimately an archive center of peoples works using different forms of multimedia. The work is very interesting and has a rich quality to it. I really like what the creators of this project did it is smart but yet so simple. This project makes me even more excited about what I am trying to do with my project.
This is an interview of Miranda July talking about Learning To Love You More. In this interview she shows some of the work and explains the concept in more detail.
