Piploti Rist- "I Want to See What You See," I really liked the song playing in the background i thought it had a lot of meaning. Overall it was crazy mixing home and plant life together, overlapping, indoors and outdoors, interesting angles of the camera. There was more focus on objects then people in the background. Weird. It did not have much purpose to me, I was confused on what message the author was trying to get across.
Nam Jun Paik- multiple screens cool 1000 tv sets. Creates 25 or more paintings a second. Makes sculptures with screens. Mixes art forms and cultures "global groove" juxtaposition all cultures are so different. 1st to take video art into a museum.
Bill Viola-mirrage kinda not really seeing anything in particular but a smuged shape moving in the distance. almost left for you to interpret, resembles humans, interesting that it is silent. maybe doesnt want to give away what it is with sound. gets clear with people on motorcycles. Now sound is there but subtle, like the wind. to me it was boring i had a hard time paying attention. doesnt' really keep the watcher interested.
Processing the Signal-strobe lights and zevra cool. stobe light different picture after each light. music beat. nature, disaster, fire Tribute to Nam Jun Paik Father of video art!
I look at all of these videos and can see how much we have advances as a state, as a country and a world. Our art is far more advance, but does that mean it has more meaning? not necessarily but I would say it is more interesting for the viewer. I guess thats not what art is about thought. It should not be whether it is best for the viewer is it? I thought it was about expressing yourself. But the artists have to make a living so it has to be interesting so people will want to buy it duh!
