		RESUME	The Total Work of Art: The father of Dada Hugo Ball believed in the idea of Die Gesammtkunstwerk or the total work of art. In the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, Ball organized events that were a perceptual chiasma, an all encompassing sensual experience that incorporated different forms of art to form the total work of art. This philosophy as I interpret it compels me as the most interesting form for expression. When I have an idea I would like to express it in many different forms, feeling out which one best describes my concept while investigating the questions behind the ideas further. I also believe that every viewer approaches different works and mediums in various ways. I want my work to resonate. I want my work to provoke someone, anyone. By creating, combining and unifying a project from various forms, the results may allow for a broader audience and many reactions and interpretations. I want emotion, change, and vitality in my work.
