Animated Gif Mashup: Dance Sequence #001 (NSFW audio) from Evan Roth on Vimeo.

This piece of artwork is amazing. For me I thought this piece symbolised that everyone is equal regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, size or IQ. The common thread we all share is dancing - it is universa. It is very facinating to think about it like this, if everyone could just realise this- we could have world peace. It is just that people are stupid, shallow and judgemental- this clip puts things in perspective. I feel very privileged to have stumbled across this artwork- it is something I will pass on to spread the message of world peace.



Altermodern (2010) - Alexandr Skarlinski

This piece of artwork makes you think, it is all about perspectives. There is something so beautiful about simple concepts. It is escapism meets reality. I find it quite beautiful although I have no idea of what this artwork means to its creator for me it shows nature as the real world. It is dissing capitalism, and modern society. It demonstrates how we are all so wrapped up in our own worlds that it becomes our only world. This piece gives you perspective- it is like that quote "You can't see the forest for the trees", or the quote "can't see the past the end of your nose" - it is a matter of perspective. Making mole hill into mountains. I found it to be very moving and ambiguous.



Micah Schippa- Emotion as particles

This is a very interesting concept. This artist has personified an emotion. Making it into an emoticon and then into particles in the body. It often feels like your emotions are physically floating through your body and at any time can just start to spill out in a physical form, verbal diarrhea, crying or physical violence. This artist thought outside the box, his work is original and very inspiring. I am very impressed with his work. I can relate to this piece as I often feel like my emotions have a mind of their own and that they manifest into a physical form.



Patience Module (2008) - Ben Fino-Radin

I love when I do not know what to think when I see a piece of artwork and it takes me a few minutes to get a handle on what I am seeing. This is what happened with this piece. I understand the patience part with the hourglass, meaning time but the rest was a muddle for me at the beginning. But stepping away from it for a few minutes and then returning to it, I was inundated with ideas and questions about the artwork. My ideas about this piece reflect what I feel when I look at it. I automatically noted the html coding of a comment tag which encloses the smaller hour glass. Although I have no way to know what the intended meaning is I believe it is means you must hide your true feelings on whether or not you are going ot act impatient or patiently. I believe the fingers pointing down symblise staying grounded and keeping centred- not stressed out or impatient. The wooden boxes symbolise symbolise the slow growth of trees but how strong they are when they are patient and have grown. The middle red circle is the colour for stop, I believe this means you must learn to slow down and where possible stop. This piece overall urges people to be patient and learn to slow down in this busy world we live in. It is quite amazing.
