Film Research

Nam June Paik - Global groove - 1973


There is very little narrative however it seems to be about a celebration about the channels of tomorrow, the limitless amount of things to watch on the television in the narrators words 'TV guides will be as fat as the manhattan phone book'. lots of music

Overlapping of videos and colour changes, from dancing people to dancing abstract versions, that are just colours.

Peter campus - Three transitions - 2008


A man walking through a sheet of paper, seemingly a parallel version of himself comes back through, the next clip was the same man painting himself into a mirror, reflecting his own face through, no music and no narration, from my guess the whole video was about escaping yourself, finding yourself, and destruction of yourself, as the last clip was the same man, burning a mirror of himself.

I quite liked the creativeness, however without sound i found it dull, becoming easily distracted from it.

Bruce Nauman - Art Make-up - 1967



Is basically a man painting himself, when he is done he sits, not looking to the camera, scratching or rubbing himself, i do not think their is much of a hidden meaning unless it was 'blending in' or 'standing out' from society.

I was not that impressed, though i did watch carefully i was expecting something a little busier, the droning sound was not for me either.
