This video definitely works well in the anxiety induced and surreal domain of video art. I thought this video showed an interesting take on material study and textures, while being incredibly strange at the same time. The score of the video added to how strange it was considering it was such a dissonant and unidentifiable sound.

Watching his video of eating a hamburger was interesting. I like the idea of making art out of something incredibly ordinary that anyone does. I wondered the whole time if something else would happen, and I think that was part of the video's point is to have you watching in anticipation the whole time.

Her videos certainly have uniqueness to them and I can see them as being early versions of the videos on youtube now with people singing harmonies. What's so cool about it is the fact that everyone singing has such a different range that it brings out a very one of a kind harmony when all played simultaneously. I also found it enjoyable to see the different types of people recruited for this video project, and how it was oriented when it was filmed and complete.

Wow this was actually so awesome. I really enjoyed seeing the imagery included in the different televisions to be what a large majority of people associate with different states when someone first brings a state up. The way it was oriented with the neon lights creating the US was a great touch to add to the electric feeling of the whole piece, and the idea of giving the viewer sensory overload without the content being abrasive pulls it together. It could have been very easy to put random or unsettling footage on all of the televisions but the artists had a clear vision for what representation would be used in all the states.
