Response to Video/New Media Artists



I personally enjoyed the different video and new media artists.  They were really different and a cool form of art that is such an evolving and up and coming thing.  I really thought the youtube videos that were done by Cory Arcangel of Paganini's 5th Caprice by meshing all the guitar tutorial's single notes into an actual song was genius.  I would have never thought of or been able to dedicate myself to being that meticulous about something of that stature.  That had to have been very difficult and time consuming.  The other youtube video he did of the cats playing a song on the piano was also really creative and funny. I liked that Cory's art is compared to being a DJ.  It shows how revolutionary art has become with technology and the capabilities of combining art with music and other creative forms.  The bowling video games were also creative and really different, though i don't quite understand how that is comparable to an art form. I would think of that more as a computer hacking prank.
