We watched the Tony Orsler video in class today. I believe I have seen his work about 5 years ago at a contemporary art museum in Winston Salem. The video was very creepy at first and through watching it I jsut wanted it to be over! I wanted to hear what his interpretation of this piece was it was like almost like a disturbance inside me that would be calmed until I found out what his motivation was. It reminded me of childhood and all the negative things that surrounded my childhood. We also watched a video on Oliver Herring- which in my opinion was mildy entertaining- i just didnt like is work particularly. But there is one thing that stood out that he said, "Much more people are more playful, and creative than we have time to express." I completely agree with this statement and am guilty of it myself.
