Cool Video Art

This video was produced by a guy name Yoshi and it's content is a much more modern version of the psychedelic pieces we've watched in class. This one sort of sets you in a trans and trips you out. The saturated colors are really intense making this video art crazy to watch unravel.

Interesting Stuff for My Blog

I was browsing the web when I found this debate between some opinionated people about digital art vs. traditional art. I thought this was interesting and relevant to the essay we just read not to long ago. The debate over which form of art is superior seems to be a reoccurring question with artists. I think both sides have good points but in the end I think digital art is overpowering traditional art in this day and age of technology. I believe that it's becoming cheaper and faster to produce art on the computer and the opportunities to expand are becoming far greater than the opportunities given to you with just some paint and a canvas. I do believe that this digital art is easily duplicable and this will therefore lead to a loss of originality much like the essay talked about, but I think it's becoming inevitable.

While browsing I also found this cool piece of video art. I thought it was interesting to compare what we watched in our last class with this piece. It got me thinking about traditional vs. digital again. Even though the video we watched was a digital piece because it was being filmed as a performance piece, it almost seemed traditional to me because it had no special effects and it wasn't as technologically advanced as videos are today. This piece is completely animated/created on the computer with no footage whatsoever making it feel much more like digital art than the other. I feel as though they both incorporated similar feelings of repetition but I enjoyed this one much more than the other only because it held my attention more with the introduction of new things throughout the entire piece.
