Are You Bored Yet? Is a visual commentary on escapism through nightlife and distracting oneself with drugs, promiscuity, and impulsivity. This exhibition includes a series of animations and motion graphics creating a nightlife atmosphere. Using 3D and 2D softwares to create energetic, conceptual, and intimate works.
My name is Hayley Martinez; I am currently a student at Buffalo State College pursuing a BFA in graphic design and animation. My work is made with the intention to strike excitement, inspiration, and connection. Using 3D and 2D software, and traditional mediums, I am driven by my experiences, observations, and escapism. We get 24 hours in a day of a life that has no death date; how will we use that time? Is it having fun, living in the moment, or ruminating about the past? How do others affect me, and how do I affect others? My goal is to not just ‘make artwork’ but to create an atmosphere where humans can be their most authentic, inspired, and excited selves. We are art.
