Anna Reeve _ New Media Artists 5 & 6

 Shana Moulten 

    This artist's video wasn't something that I would click with, but as I watched, it got continually more and more confusing, as I was asking myself 'what is this? how does this make sense but not make sense at all?' It states in the article where I found her work, "Adjectives people usually associate with video art: disturbing, overwhelming, pretentious, provocative. One adjective people don't associate with video art so often: funny." Moulten's work wasn't what I had expected but it did have some comedic moments where you would just ask 'why?' and then just laugh about it. She was able to work with not only a fun and exciting environment, but this specific video works around her own alter-ego and provides a more inside look on truly goes on behind closed doors. It provides an odd look into her own life but could also be interpreted to more.

Carl Burton 

To be honest, when looking at his gifs, it just made me want to climb through my computer and just sit and enjoy what was created. Burton creates quick atmospheric GIFs that truly grasp the definition of science fiction and realism. "Much of what you see here represents Burton's personal experiments", this was really interesting to read in an article full of all his GIFs he created because it makes a reader/ viewer think about what he's done in the past for him to create all these wonderful animations.
