Daniel Joseph Martinez

I like that he not only creates he evokes emotions and thoughts through his work. Many artists like to focus their work on social issues, but Martinez wants to involve his audience. He wants to involve their emotions in his work. I really like that he incorporates his aud in his works. The piece he did called "The castke is burning" was very intriguing. I wondered why he choose to write "In the rich man's house the only place to spit on his face." I like that he allowed latino faculty and students to vent complaints about discriminatory school policies. Overall, I respected his work, and the menaing behind it. I found him to be an intersting artist just becasue he is SO unconventional, and he likes to be known as the, "Tactical Media Stategist." He defies rules, and he disrupts convention.
