In Michael Rush's "New Media in Art," the concept of time and its representation within the artistic world is explored through the very manner in which artworks are subject to temporality. Rush discusses the immunity of of the interactive video format to the limitations that other more traditional pieces are subject to. This is a very interesting concept because it calls to mind the immortality of a work that completely lacks a traditional narrative format and instead asks the viewer to participate in a tangible and immersive interaction. The very possibility of preserving a specific series of events in time provides artists with the opportunity to preserve such an uncontrollable and untamable entity, a concept that truly provokes deep investigation and thought.
Maurizio Lazzarato's "Video, Flows in Real Time" discusses the very components that give essence to the structure of video technology and why these things are important to consider when examined within the context of their content and creation. The author includes a quote by Angela Melitopoulos that references the impact of the construction of these moving visuals: the technology utilized to create these pieces operates in a way that must transform and manipulate light in order to create the desired image. The energy that exists in the objects being represented and their subsequent changes when represented with video technology provide a view into a reality separate from the original experience. This concept references the layers of mystery that are always incorporated into works of moving image, something that significantly ties into our class because it reminds us that the very images of our video projects can contain plentiful sources of expressive thought and critical thinking, without the need for music or narratives. How can the technical procedures and the philosophical components of video technologies influence the creation of our video assignments?
