Video Responses

1. Bill Viola - Emergence:
I found this video to be quite interesting; it is not like anything I have seen before in the past. To me it seems like there is a religious aspect to this video which I thought made the video more interesting. I enjoyed the use of sound and image in this piece.


2. Bruce Nauman - Pinch Neck:
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this piece, I think because I don't really understand it or what the message is that the artist is trying portray. I thought it was interesting that the artist chose to not include sound in the piece.

3. Joan Jonas - Vertical Roll:
For the most part I enjoyed Vertical Roll -- I liked the use of repetition in the piece, however I found the sound in the background was very piercing.

4. Vito Acconci - Open Book:
The tone of the video was video was pretty creepy -- it was very uncomfortable to watch. This piece is a close up video of someone's mouth speaking, however I could not understand one thing that the person was saying. I didn't really understand the purpose of this piece.

5. Gary Hill - Meditations:
I found this video to be very fascinating -- the use of sound and imagery is really nice. Throughout the whole video I was interested and wanted to keep watching.
