The Quiz

Conceptual
Paik - The piece that I saw of Nam Joon Paik's was something that had some crazy fly around images of his face while changing it through filters, to music. It was the biggest heap of bullshit I have ever seen.

Narrative
Joe Gibbons - The piece I am going to address is his Barbie piece where he reanacts an old porno from the 90's. Using the gainy camera it is just like the poor quality amatuer porn videos that would always involve a fake rape interveiw/ audition. This was big back in the 90's during the huge interent porn boom. I can't lie, I saw this stuff, and even helped make some. Had to make a living some how. Anyway, It sucked. It was really just a poor excuse to call art.

After reading the article I was was interested to see Paik's work. However, It prooved to be a huge dissapiontment. There was nothing special about it, unless I decided to get high.

I had always known about video art, Heck I took a course on it in Highschool, and have always had a strong hatred for it, mainly because people always tend to abuse a good thing. I'll admit there are some good pieces out there, like music videos or even film in general. But people have taken video art to making stuff that looks like congratulations I high or to quote South Park a"a bunch of gay cowboys eating pudding". So I guess I understand it to be more and more dissapionting. You could classify the Youtubepoop series as Video art by this definition.

Video Art is using the Video as the main source and material of your piece, rather than making a video using other elements. Graphite vs Drawing.
