Today, we were required to present our video and also what we found interesting about our respective artists. As Siobhan, who was editing the video, was unable to export the video, Jordan and I only got to watch it for the first time today. Happy to say that it turned out pretty well.

What I found most interesting about Marcus’ work is the fact that he had to give others the authority to play around with his invention. I wrote about it in my reflection, about how the audience was given an opportunity to participate, to collaboratively create something new with his piece.

Joseph and Robbie both gave us feedback on what they thought about our video. We were told that we managed to capture it well, and because there was a crackly sort of effect in our audio recordings as Marcus talked, Joseph mentioned that the inconsistencies would be something that Marcus himself would appreciate and be able to relate to.

It was something new to reflect upon, because it made me think about how videos are capable of capturing a person’s personality based not only on the content, but on technicalities as well. Overall, it was a really good experience, being able to talk to an artist who works the way that he does.

We also got to see everybody else’s videos today, and it was splendid. I could clearly see that the artists had left lasting impressions on the students with the way they worked, and just being able to be around such artistic individuals was indeed something that we needed, not just for our professional practices, but for our creative ones as well.
