Bill Viola video review

Viola is arguably the most famous videographer in the world. He is the inventor of video art. There is a poetry to his work, and he delves into many different types of videos. His videos are visually invigorating, and the viewer is taken on a journey through his exhibitions. Viola is an artist to admire, because he pioneered much of what videography is today. He presents the human condition so profoundly that everyone who views his work must react to it.

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.
