Are the people or objects pictured in the video aware of the viewers' presence? How do you know?
I think the person writing "i will not make anymore boring art" knows that they are being filmed, otherwise they would not have faced their writing towards the camera so the reader could view it
Do you believe they are empowered somehow, or disempowered by the choices the artist made in portraying them? In other words, how has the way they are video taped informed our image of them?
The way they are filmed really does not give the viewer any information about them. It is simply a hand writing over and over again on a sheet of paper " i will not make any more boring art"
What do you notice about this video?
This video is one big joke. The artist is writing " i will not make any more boring art" on a single piece of paper. The camera does not move, the sound is horrible and the camera does not zoom in or out. This film is VERY BORING therefore ironic because the artist is doing the one thing he said he would not
What do you like about the video?
the ironic puzzle it creates
What do you dislike about the video?
everything else, the sound quality is almost painful to listen to, its a very blurry fuzzy screen, there is no movement what so ever, you can barely read what the artist is writing. It boring.
How would you describe the overall structure of this video?
black and white Montage, poor lighting, with eye level camera angles and no camera movement
Choose one of the aspects described in questions 6 and consider how that aspect impacts how you read or respond to this film or video.
the no camera movement is what makes this film the most successful because without camera movement the film is extremely boring, which is exactly what the artist was going for
