We tend to think of Twitter posts and Facebook status updates where we share how we currently are feeling as something sort of temporary; our feelings change so will our status. I find it very interesting that Baker takes these "feelings" and turns them into something tangible which can be archived.
It's also fascinating that the installation is continually growing and updating in real time while being viewed in the gallery. It would really be something you would want to view and read for a while rather than most art in galleries where one may look at a painting for a few seconds or minutes then move on to the next.
I would really enjoy seeing this "waterfall of feelings" in person.
I also liked his work! Just like you mentioned, with this art piece you can observe it for more than 2 minutes unlike most artworks. This piece takes a little bit longer to figure out and understand, which I love about it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to think this form of art will engage people to indulge into art a little more. It drives me crazy when I see people at galleries just zoom through without at least studying the pieces. This seems like an awesome piece and it connects everyone to it through their feelings.
