Aaron and Casey

They discussed Reuben Langdon and Trisha Brown. Their ideas about the exhibit sounds interesting. Making an exhibit with simply televisions with films is something I would probably be interested in. Both of the presenters give great background information on the artists.

Langdon's biography was really well presented. Interesting take on artists-Avatar stunt double. I'm a little confused how he himself is the digital artist, but rather a stunt double...The videos were interesting. Is it safe to presume that the artists are the stunt doubles because they allow for a great range of motion for digital artists.

The background information on Trisha Brown is also very well done. I found that her work was a more legitimate take on art. She actually created things and not simply followed through with instructions. I felt that her work was really quite beautiful and elegant. Like I said before, I feel that she is more important as an artist because she choreographed the dancers. I feel that Langdon is told to do something, and therefore he doesn't create his stunts.

Overall, however, the presentation was excellent. They gave a lot of great and interesting information. Some of the videos, perhaps, were a little long, but otherwise, everything was great. They definitely knew their stuff, I just can't accept the overall conclusion that Langdon is considered an artist.
