Steina, Allvision, 1975
Steina Vasulka puts two cameras facing each other that are blocking their own views. If someone walks by them, they are captured in the image and the images from the cameras are displayed on the wall that is also seen when the cameras rotate on a "lazy suzan." This is a fun way to see things from a different perspective and doubled views.
Bruce Nauman's Performance Corridor
This is a video of a lady walking back and forth through a narrow corridor and staring at herself on a couple televisions. Bruce Nauman made this video around 1970 and it has stirred a lot of attention. Interesting piece of art. Strange, a little creepy, but interesting...
Bicycle Wheel
This was a bicycle wheel that Marcel Duchamp stuck on a barstool, upside down. He found it very fascinating to spin and didn't think about it as a piece of art. Later it became known as a "readymade" and another version was put out. It's amazing how something so simple and entertaining can be a famous work of art. Especially the toilet from my earlier blog.
