 Walking around I was able to see about four different slideshows that were very different from each other. It  was kind of clear what each person was trying to argue through their slideshows. In each slideshows each person was arguimguing more than one point. I found people showing war and children, wars, violence, the future, media, addiction, illusion, distortion and reality verses nonreality. It was very intersting to see the kinds of images they use to represent these different topics. Some weren’t vlear as others. It took  a while to understand what the image repesented. I had to look other the slideshow more than one time to understand at times.. A lot of the slideshows had images of all sorts of technology like computers, media, the web, cellphones and cameras. A common topic that I found in the slideshows was war. There were lots of images  of  soldiers, battles, guns and violence. One effective technique that I found was the use of self images. One slideshow the student used pictures of herslf interacting with media, she made herself part of this visual argument. The way this is effective, it gives you a different perspective, it made the creater about of the work. Another effective technique that I saw was using regualr images, such as nature then comparing it to the urban areas and the technolgy world. The way this technique was effective is allow to compare wo differnet worlds to different perspectives. It was intersting to see the other world oustide the chaoic technological world
