John Baldessari, who is an American artist whose work in altered and adjusted photographic imagery and video were central to the development of conceptual art in the United States and grew up in the midst of the Great Depression. After a professor of the University took leave for an illness, Baldessari served as a substitute for one term which in turn led him to teach sporadically for the next several years, while experimenting with his own art and practice. In terms of his "Wrong" picture, I think that John Baldessari might have named his picture "Wrong" because he wanted to make a picture that was wrong on purpose since the picture clearly shows that he attempted to get everything 'wrong' in this picture and succeeded in doing such, it never really was much of a big thing, he must have never really wanted a result but just to experiment with the concept of making wrong photos. Make no mistake, this has influenced a whole array of other photographers and artists into this concept of 'wrong' photos, as researched in some of the following projects. But as a class during discussion time, we explained about ideas as to why it was wrong; some of my ideas are presented in the showcase below with my personal response to his "Wrong" photos.
In the showcase above, I managed to get lots of 'wrong' photos. I used a few different techniques to get these pictures; for example, for some of them I shook the camera while pressing the shutter button to get an effect on the picture that makes it look wrong and blurry. I have also used the 'cutting-off' technique, where you cut off an object in an image (like a tree). These techniques have helped me take multiple wrong pictures like the ones above.
WWW: - I managed to make some very good wrong photos. I had attempted to make my pictures good by making them blurry, over exposed, purposeless and unintelligible.
EBI: - I could have made my images more purposeless and I could have used more of a variety of places and techniques to get even better results than my current pictures.
