Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T

Interesting that the song itself is about how the Paparazzi turns her every-day life into performance, and then she does another piece about that. A double performance! Steph
ReplyDeleteFinally. I wondered if anyone was gonna do Lady Gaga.
ReplyDeleteSteph I totally see what you're talking about. Miss Gagaloo is a current day performance artist especially when she takes it on the stage. She is definitely something new and really challenges our thinking of a usual music performance.

This is definitely an interesting piece. I believe after watching this video that Lady Gaga is an artist in more than one way. Because we don't only get the art of music expressed here but we also get the art of expression as well through the choreographed dance, costumes and the storyline that went along with the stage performance. I am not really sure what to make of the end quite yet but I would imagine that it has to do with the intensity of paparazzi becoming so overwhelming that it got to be dangerous and she get kill and the paparazzi makes that public. I have never heard the lyrics and I don't really listen to Lady Gaga so at least that would be my interpretation of here performance. Great choice!

ReplyDeleteI was going to post a clip from her Monster Ball tour but this definitely works too. This is perhaps my favorite musical performance. And that fact that she sings live the entire time is impressive. There's actually another video on YouTube that tears the performance apart as having a satanic agenda.
ReplyDeleteI prefer this over the dangerous stunts we saw in class. I don't really get the point of those. Those and this Gaga performance have shock and awe approach, but Gaga's isn't as in your face screaming for attention.
