Canon XL1 & XL1S

During their six and a half years of existence, the XL1 and the XL1S have had a greater effect on the low-budget independent filmmaking community than any technology since the invention of digital video. From its unique design to its image acquistion system, Canon engineered the original XL1 to be a versatile and special camcorder from the ground up. The versatility of the XL1 and XL1S have allowed them to be developed, adapted, and used like no other consumer or prosumer digital video camcorder in the entire history of digital video.....

This is one of famous work by Joseph Kosuth, an artist born in Toledo, Ohio, 1/31/1945. He moved to New York in 1965 and attended the School of Visual Arts there until 1967. The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein influenced the development of his art from 1965 to 1974. During this period, he explored the idea that language possesses meaning only in relationship to itself, as in the series One and Eight - A Description (1965), in which eight words in neon signify only the elements that compose the work; for example, Neon Electrical Light English Glass Letters Red Eight. He founded the Museum of Normal Art in New York in 1967 and his first solo show took place there that year. For more info about J.Kosuth, please click here



Usually when you go to an art gallery, you will see beautiful paintings or sculptures. But Joseph Kusoth use objects that we can find in our own rooms, for example chairs, lamps, etc. Instead of decorating them, he show the chair together with an enlarged picture of the chair itself & a dictionary definition of chair. Why?
My opinions are; because an object can change due to many things such as, weather & earthquake, he put the picture there to capture and freeze the time of the chair. Secondly art can be interpret into many different meaning and that is why he put the definition there to tell that this is just a chair.... or just to confuse people =)


Now let me read your opinions about this artwork by Joseph Kusoth.

Hi

Yellow there,

Welcome to my Interactive Art blog, which I created for my IA works and stuff

I know it is still empty because my classes just started, but I will archieve or show my horrible works to you later, so you can compare them with your own works and post comments on them. Hopefully with this we can interact and improve each other's works.


Best,

Marco
