Response to Video and Intermedia

What I got from reading Stephen Foster's article is that video doesn't necessarily have to be art. Video doesn't necessarily have to be liked by others around you. Anything one does in life doesn't have to be liked by others around them. The only thing that matters when it comes to self expression is one's self. As long as you think what you came up with in your mind and transferred to either paper, an object, or maybe even a video, means something to you that's all you should care about. Other people may not fully understand your expression which is why it's yours. It's nobody else's video or "art" just yours. You can have countless videos, drawings, paintings, etc and keep them to yourself and love every single one of them. Or you can put them out into the world and allow for other people to get a taste of how you view things around you or how you view things in your mind and if they like it, they like it, if not it really doesn't matter. If however you expressed yourself allowed for you to get how you felt off your mind, whether it was a happy expression or an angry one that's all that that person should care about. That's what art is, the expression of one's creativeness or imagination.

Came across this video on ubuweb. Its a little eerie but I thought it was pretty cool. I liked how the imagery matched up with the different tones of music.
