Pluses
>The technology seems to offer new ways of manipulating movement, intensity of colour or moving images over time (video)
> Changes the whole environment as the video clip shows
Minuses
lack of time for contemplation
sophistication of tones, colours, lines…etc
Bill Viola is an artist who has used video on large scale but in gallery environment. He has unusually gone for very subtle effects such as slow motion shoots say of a man under water (Tate Modern). He is someone who has used the digital media in very simple yet very imaginative way.
Questions
1 – Are there any other fine-art based artist using this media?
2 – What are their intentions?
3 – What are the media’s strengths and weaknesses?
I wonder if the skyscrapers of New York could be considered new canvases of the 21st Century.

Without the advertising it would be a very dull building. But it is interesting because it is illuminating. I looked at you filming and start to think of the people working inside the building. The contrast between outside and inside.
And how the building becomes quite animated as the advertising is flashing.
oh yes and also

Thanks for the leads on other artist fascinated in this area.
I remember Bob Geldof projecting popies on Admiralty Arch in London. Exciting to look at.
