Well this guy gives another meaning to watching TV. he found a new way to use to TV to send messages and pictures. I bet his mom isn't mad that he watch a lot of TV because he a made a career out of it. ha ha. Anyways, this video is cool, for one its a video of TVs and two so much is going on in there, its almost as if the pictures being shown are what the TV is for. the bird flying, the skull ( for me that is like a symbol news for today since now the news is about how died or hows been kidnapped then killed, really sad but true) the cartoon, the people chatting, and other things. Its cool that that the big images are actually collages of video grouped together to make the picture. its very innovative of the artist to take all aspects of the art of TV and create a new art.

Gracie Kendal

shallow hal. The main character was able to see a woman's inner beauty and all what she's worth and finally when snaps out of the spell and finds that he really likes the girl. that is what it reminds me of. Gracie Kendal found peace in second life, she learned more about herself and is slowly getting use to her own skin. her avatar is really pretty ( reminds of my high school chem teacher) its her inner beauty, in second life its the only place she can show people who she is in from the inside when other people only see her from the outside and see that she doesn't follow Hollywood type. Kendal's art is all about inner beauty in my opinion and it shows especially in this picture. she still has her glasses, her smile, and her style. her other work on second life shows that beauty isn't just fitting in size two jeans. she is real pioneer and trying to prove that a little over weight doesn't mean the person isn't a good person.

Sterlarc

This video was fun because I'm very fascinated by muscles. The face that this artist created a thing to move them with a machine is cool. I love the two volunteers, and the face they are vastly different in size. totally says, in this demo, that size doesn't matter. I find it hilarious that Stelarc is trying to have the buff lift his shirt, that defiantly made my friends laugh when i showed them as it did for the audience. I like how the artist is all about the body. showing how it works different ways. again I've always been fascinated by the human body, if this guy ever comes to town ill go see him. the fact that he uses the human body for art and not like the insides of it like the body exhibit is cool. He's showing how the inside works from the outside.

Four Yip

four yip loves light colors and loves to do art about humans, animals, and nature. I find this fun since i just talked about Alice in wonderland. this is a fun twist on it since the march hare is a girl. the colors are very pretty and even makes me think of one of my dresses. four yip is cool since she wants people to interact with her art on second life. I guess that a good reason to be on SL. to get recognized and stuff but i personally can't spend hours on there. well back to the art. the floral background makes me think of 16th and 17th century art which makes this romantic then with the half girl/half rabbit's top being up open so much makes it very modern since now most art is half or naked women. the only problem I have with it is maybe the look of the girl, her face looks like she is maybe like13 or 14 and showing tons of skin for her age. I understand that a bikini does that too but like this is a lot of cleavage. I have mixed emotions about this but all in four yip does let the mind day dream in her art work.

Matthew Barney

OK i know this clips from his movie but i can't post a whole movie on here. Matthew barney has created his own universe of Alice in wonderland. These clips obviously show that he likes that story, the video has the white rabbits, the pink creature that creates havoc, random animal creatures instead of the talking flowers. He created a whole series like this too. Granted I haven't seen any of the movies but with presentation in class it shows that Barney does like the story of Alice if not i can find references to it but then again a lot things do. Another major key element to my Alice theory is that the video starts with a whole then goes to white rabbits. in the middle there is even a game similar to croquette. I may be wrong but it does seem like that also the colors are very psychedelic which I'm guessing is because of his birth in San Fran. Barney's work is interesting and out of this world and I can see why he like Bjork, they both out of this world or what is known as the main stream world.
