For this article, I do not entirely agree with the author’s intend upon writing it. Although Pluralism is a subjective concept that is being widely used in colleges and universities today, there is no issue with the teaching of equitable standards in the classrooms. Equity, in all standards, should be recognized in all grade level classrooms, because recognizing one’s privilege and difference between their peers is essential to gaining an appreciation for diversity. Pluralism should not be used to degrade a student for their opinions, but rather teach them the significance of difference in the world in which they live. One’s taste in music or art is not on the same caliber of social equity preference. It is quite possible that I am misinterpreting what the author is attempting to say; yet, it seems to me that he/she is questioning the power of Pluralism too literally.

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Matthew Barney video reaction

The video I watched from Barney, Cremaster Cycle Trailer, was extremely odd with its imagery and symbolism. There were different shots of unrelated things, and the entire video seemed surreal at times. Because of its oddness, this video reminds me of the video examples we were shown in class. I can possibly take inspiration from this video, if I wanted to make something extremely abstract. It was difficult to find the true meaning of this video, but nevertheless, I still appreciate it.
