Abstraction

 The interview with Pipilotti Rist was so interesting I would love to see the world through their eyes. The concept of consuming media as if it were food was really interesting because it made so much sense how they put it. They see the world for how it is and the connection between human and nature and how we consume and experience. The whole idea of abstraction reminds me of the movie Comet where the entirety of this couples relationship is shown at different parts. It starts at the beginning, when they met, then cuts too after they break up the first time, cuts to the last time they see each other and then back to the beginning. It all cycles in a random order but it makes sense. one of the characters even talks about how she wishes life was like a painting with no beginning or end, that everything was just as it was. The whole concept of time is played with throughout this movie and it is really cool and makes you think about everything happening in your life and the choices you make that lead you to where you are now. One of the videos we looked at, Habitat by Sabrina Ratté actually made me kind of uncomfortable. It reminded me of a weird dream I had once, the noise was especially unsettling. Paul Pfeiffer also said something that really spoke to me, he said, "Is the image making us or do we make images?" I thought this was a very thought provoking question. His art is also really cool and how he makes the mini models of what he shows on the screen and the floating trophy shot at the end. As for my own project, I am not really sure what I will be doing buy I did really like Pipilotti Rist's style so I might draw some inspiration from their work.
