3) Describe the piece you were most interested in viewing after reading this article. Look the work
up on the links, and expand on Rush's comments. (2 points)
I could not find the piece I was interested in so I searched through the videos and decide upon Joe Gibbons work.
His work seems to focus on himself and another object. He did many things with that seemed to involve childhood objects that can only be described as odd. It seems that much of it also is shaky and he talks to the camera as if it were a person. I liked Spring the most I found what he says is very interesting.
4) What do you better understand now about Video Art? (2 points)
There are many different types of video art and just about and thing shot on video can be a form of video art as long as it has a purpose. Most videos also have a lot of meaning to them.
5) Based on Rush and this article, what makes Video Art vs. an "artful video"? (2 points)
Video art has assumed the position of legitimacy, even prominence. Video art is carefully thought out and is appealing to younger artist. Artful video does not have meaning behind it and is just many interesting shots put together or is not well thought out.
The work shape.69c by Tim Borgmann is a very well done piece. It very interesting negative spaces and causes your eye to move through the piece. The composition is very well set up and causes your eyes to travel through the work easily. Shape.69c is very well balanced because the colors used on the left of the work and dark and on the right there are some highlights that balance it.

The animation tort ou raison is a very entertaining work. Your eyes are drawn through the work by the things that move about the top of the table. The colors in the work are dole and make you feel that your are actually looking down on the table.

The work C is very interesting to watch and has very well done sound effects. The animation seemed to use the monty python technique for some of the animation but then switches to more 3D animation. The composition of each shot was very well done and kept the work interesting
