To discuss both past and present artists and works. (Chapter 1)

There are many ways in artist works that tells us when it was made although some you would not be able to recognise. i have looked at several videos, the ones that interested me the most were Doll Face, koyaanisqatsi and girl chewing gum. This is because they all had and interest in very different ways.

Doll face is a recent video made by Andy Huang which had a concept linked to the media these days because they young girl just wants to reach out to the TV and be like a model off the television. This video links to the video Gisele Kerozene by Jan Kounen this is because there ideas are kind off the same in the way they use lots of animation.

Koyaanisqatsi is an old video made in 1983 by Godfrey Reggio, the general gist of the video is moving around different places like the grand canyon. There are several opinions to this video in the way peoples minds think. The concept of this video is that showing people that not everything is perfect and people need to think about other people and places. This video is very different compared to another old film called a girl chewing gum they are both very old but are very different to each other this is because in Koyaanisqatsi uses high colour were as a girl chewing gum uses back and white and is not a very clear video.

Although Doll face is a new video and Koyaanisqatsi and Girl Chewing Gum are old they can link to each other in a certain way because they are all perceptions, doll face is a perception of beauty and Koyaanisqatsi has a perception of the plannet also Girl chewing gum has the perception of truth because in the video it makes you think the man is actually there at the time but really he is not there at all.
