ASPECT VIDEOS

I looked at the ASPECT video's from the web only. I don't know if they have more artists on the dvd than they do on the web, but I wish more interesting artists were shown. We chose Peter Welz simply for his work's visual interest. He uses the human body as an artists 'tool". I like his way of thinking and his use of space and time as metaphor for his work. His work relates to the human condition, and the transformation that happens to the human psyche as it responds to the environment it is contained within. His work allows the viewer to "connect" or "disconnect" to the work, depending on the viewer's current psychological state of being. If you are in a reflective mood when viewing the work, for instance, you might be moved by the presentation and human elements the artist delivers. His work "requires" you to reflect or to interpret your feelings about the human condition. The work "looks" simple, but from my perspective, it is complex.
