Paul Pfeiffer- One thing I liked about Paul Pfeiffer's work was that he put a whole new perspective on his artwork. As he viewer, I was able to look at things from a different point of view, ex: the mini diorama of a house with the peep hole and you could see the staircase through the hole. His inspirations and sources of his work come from sports like basketball and hockey. Some themes he talked about using in his work included action shots, videos, and computer generated recreations of props from Hollywood. By removing parts of the images in his videos we aren't focused on watching the center of attention anymore, instead the viewers see the background or other things that we usually wouldn't watch or notice. The importance of the titles of his work make the viewer think about their meanings and how they connect to the artwork. His work connects to electronic multimedia because he is using cameras and videos as the media he's working with to create his pictures or videos.
Oliver Herring- My favorite artwork of his was the men spitting food dye all over themselves. I really enjoyed those pictures because the color adds so much more variety and interest to the pictures and it brings out the color of the mens' eyes. His motivaton for the work he creates is from a drag performance artist who committed suicide in 1991. Some themes used were time (doing something over and over like knitting), abstract painting, and large-scale photographs. His work is electronic multi-media because he uses cameras to capture photographs and videos. When I saw him directing people to do actions or pose a certain way it inspired me to want to do the same. I would love to use people (models/actors/friends/etc..) to pose for me and do whatever I ask in order to make art.
