Cecelia Condit's work
I believe I have seen Cecelia's video before in an art class. I will say that the one part that I didn't like about it was the audio. The voice was horrible and made it hard to listen to---too high of a voice. I made me want to just get up and walk out of the room. However, although I hardly had any idea of what seemed to be going on, I will say that the filming of this work is interesting. I particularly like when the dark haired woman was laying down and seemed to be dreaming and it was dark except for the one light on her face. She laid still and the light on her face was a video playing--her face was being used as a projection screen. Another person's face was being shown on there, and this was interesting, because the lady was lying there with her mouth and eyes closed and the face being projected had the eyes blinking and the mouth was moving as the person talked. It was weird to see the open eyes and mouth opening and closing over the closed eyes and closed mouth of the sleeping actress.

I really enjoyed Condit's video. I had forgotten about the second face being projected onto her own, that was a really cool part. The voice actually didn't really bother me, what actually bothered me with the sound were some of this week's screenings, the Arcangel piece with the computer noises, and "Fist Fight" both made me want to plug my ears a little bit.
