this week Jenna asked us to find a video artist on the web site www.videoartworld.com that we found interesting. i found an artist called Garry Hill who bases most of his art on text and its relationship with electronic image. this is some infomation i found on the website about garry hill i found interesting
"His reading of the writings of Maurice Blanchot, in particular, provided him with ideas relating to the way in which language impinges on phenomenological experience, and a notion of 'the other' stemming from the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas. Such reading informs Hill's visual-poetic explorations of the interrelationships between language, image, identity, and the body." (http://www.videoartworld.com/beta/artist_651.html) the picture i like the best is called Rome, Flavian Amphitheater, June 11 2005it is shown above.
i have also decided i will be modifying my theme this week. i know for my video presentation i want to use areas in my home town called Montsalvat and the old aqueduct along with a friend to use as a model in the moving art. i don't want to give too much away of what I'm hoping to achieve but the idea has developed into a kind of forgotten bride type situation where a girl is dressed in a beautiful gown in an unfamiliar location completely alone and visibly upset.
