Joseph Farbrook was an artist which grabbed a nook and made a moving image, constantly dancing. He installed a frame around the nook as if it was a regular painting. The image is very opaque so you cannot see the gloss that you would normally see in a reflection on a glass of any electronic. I thought the idea was very innovative and creative plus the actual picture of the ballerina was amazing. It looked like a simple trace of a ballerina and remind me of Edgar Degas.
Allen Hampton and Joanne Steinhart were two other artists that called my attention. Hampton had an image of a girl from Vietnam running and screaming in a technique that looks as if the picture were made out of pixels. The artwork had a lot of emotion an the image of the girl was simply amazing. Joanne has a very interesting technique where she does a kind of mosaics with the same picture. It was very appealing to the eye and it was a very nice idea.
My favorite was one by Ricardio Arias which was a big, tall and skinny table which had a sculpture of a Tibetan figure. The entire table vibrated and made a humming sound which represented the humming made during the meditation of the Tibet people.
There were some artworks that I disliked a little, or maybe I thought they were a little odd. The fist one was Sol Erez that did a video of porn stars recreating some political events. The idea was very different and I though that could be very interesting, but the format of the video was very homemade and it got out of focus many time, make up and scenarios were very bad as well. The second one was a artwork by Dana Corrigan, it was a video about a fox and a rabbit. The illustrations were flawless and very nice but the video didn't call my attention as much, it was very white and I appreciate simplicity but maybe it was too much.
