So last year in imaging we had an assignment to make a work of art that argued with itself. I’m not really sure how I came up with this idea but I made a Bedazzled Salad. I wanted to continue this work by actually bedazzling a salad and making a series of photos of the strange meal. I might still do that, we shall see. I gave this painting to my dad for a late birthday present.

 

Then a couple of weeks ago I was thinking about sexual puns, in this case specifically tossing salad, and its relationship to my Bedazzled Salad. So lo and behold, I decided to make a salad tosser where the lettuce would be a person dancing in a green screen suit because the green screen suit I have is so big it kind of looks like a leaf.

 

All in all I am pretty happy with the salad tosser. In order to use it sing sweetly to your computer, “please toss my salad,” and in return your salad will be generously tossed. I wish I had the time to make each piece of lettuce its own dance move because I have 45 minutes of useable footage for that. Also I wish I knew more about the video library in p5 because I definitely feel like the individual leaves could have better defined alphas. Some people find this work to be humorous which is extremely nice.
