Example of Social Critique (Colleen)

Hey guys found this video artist when I was attempting to write a paper for another class. Max Almy does a lot of work about technology and its influence on people. This particular piece is a satire of political television and delves into the processes behind political image making and the marketing of a candidate. Thought it tied in well with the election today as well as reading.

  1. Colleen I really liked this example of video art, thanks for sharing! I especially liked how he used this idea of a computer program and a selection process much like a dress up doll to comment on politics.

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
