Andrew Kieper

His artwork involved a combination of visual and audio loops that are not perfectly synched up. In the piece the effect desired was to create a space with sound. Through the use of panning, playing with the equalizer, and raising and lowering the pitch things can sound closer or further away. The visual was highly textural and a combination of abstract and possibly real images. This ambiguity allows the viewer to interpret in his or her own manner.
Video art, in general, was also discussed especially the idea of narrative versus non-narrative. A non-narrative defies the expectations of a video viewer as most popular video is narrative. Bill Viola was mentioned as an important artist in video that focuses on ideas like birth and death often in his video. Finally, parts of a Matthew Barney film were shown. In it, a museum space is taken over by a cast of characters including a punk band, Serra throwing melted vaseline, and a feline/woman advesary.
