Bruce Nauman:
This artist takes very simplistic and basic ideas and movements looked at and reevaluated in different ways. It's very interesting because his pieces usually go on for hours and it is meant to be so that the viewer can leave and come back while the piece is still going on.
Peter Campus:
Campus seems to take a more abstract approach rather than a realistic one. Once again this artist is looking at human form but is distorting it in different manners. One of my favorites is, three Transitions, on youtube and I found it very interesting how it is a figure distorting itself in one way or another.
Joan Jonas:
This female video artist has more of an objective while creating her videos for example she uses feminism and other female gestures. She used herself in her own projects and creating alter egos of herself in these films. She, unlike the two other artists uses her artist ability to involve drawings as well.
Bill Viola:
Violas piece is something that I found significantly different. It used one figure in most of his pieces and what seemed to be a progression of movement as time went on with a source of water or wind. The figures are assumed to be human but hold qualities of abstraction and un humanlike movements, like levitation. The raft, was an interesting piece that showed everyday people and then immersing them in water at a torturous way.
Andy Worhol:
The famous artist had a very opposite outlook on everything he did in life that reflected his pieces. He looks at everyday actions as an artistic gift. His art all are reproductions of everyday thinks like soda and thought large scale impact was very affective. for example him eating a hamburger and a video of it.
