Point Of View_Tutino

My video conveys three different points of view: that of myself as I am having a staring contest, the person I am having the staring contest with is the other point of view, and an outside perspective that encompasses us both is the third perspective. By taking the video from an actual person's perspective it almost puts the viewer in the position of being a part of the contest without actually doing it. It is supposed to make the viewer wonder at first, like, "Why is this person just staring at me?" If you think about it a staring contest is an odd concept, he only goal is to stare into the other person's eyes as long as you can without smiling, blinking, or any of the like. In other words you must take all emotion out and just focus on one of your five senses.

1  1)    For the first piece of art we looked at was Type A: Barrier, which was a piece of work, created by Adam Ames and Andrew Bordwin. They had set up curved blocks that looked like the ones that could be on construction sites. They were placed in a fashion to help instate the sense of security and it relates to one of the videos shown in Harun Farocki’s relates to these blocks in that the video that the video that showed the men going into the elevators to head to their work place and it was kind of on constant repeat. I find them similar because these men are heading down to their work place yet those blocks are already working so to say.

2)  Harun Farocki’s instillation of 11 videos helped changed the video’s original meanings since the later decades changed in process of what the actual footage should mean. In the last film installment it is more of a film like from a movie scene and doesn’t really capture the postmodern factories. The installation also put a loop in a specific part of the film it was showing to possibly show the repetitiveness of the work force during those times.
