Title: Theaters

I really enjoy all of Hiroshi Sugimoto's work with the slow shutter speeds, black and white, and symmetry.  This is a series of theaters that he took with no one attending the movie with the movie playing.  The detail and intention of great symmetry is pretty amazing and the sense of people that you expect to see in a movie theater but are not there.  It is also interesting that he investigates the notion of how time is captured on film and the photographs test the limitations of time within the context of two dimensional representations.

Title: Exploded Views

This installation done by Jim Campbell was really interesting to me by the way it works.  The installation had 2000+ led lightbulbs that exploded images into three dimensional objects.  It's pretty cool how the computer controlled led lightbulbs can capture shadow-like images of objects moving under it.  It also amazes me how far technology has gone to achieve something like this is pretty awesome.

Artist: Arnulf Rainer
Date: 1971
Title: A Nose Adjustment

This image by Arnulf Rainer has a man making a weird face and outlined with another face painted over it with a side view of a face with a bigger nose.  From the title it seems to me that for one he is trying to make the nose a lot bigger than the image displays the man's nose.  Most of his work shows self-portraits of people with paint splashed over them to either emphasize the person with distorted and bigger noses or hair, moles, and even resemblance of blood.  I enjoy his work in a way that they are mostly black and white, also they are not your average self-portraits and his subjects all have funny looks on their face.  Also some of his work seems a little demonic or evil in a way as i see it but that could just be me.
