Installation Nasties

1. Individual research and write, and provide illustrative stills for, a blog post article on controversial video installations of the late twentieth century. Your blog must focus on at least three artists and refer to others as appropriate. 




Video installation is a contemporary art form that combines video technology with installation art, making use of all aspects of the surrounding environment to affect the audience. Video installation is ubiquitous and visible in a range of environments from galleries and museums to an expanded field that includes site specific work in urban or industrial landscapes. Popular formats include monitor work, projection, and performance etc. The video was disturbing some of us found it trouble to watch something turing into dead piece, but it really shows of art work how the object turned into old that been there for long. 


Taylor Wood 

Taylor wood created this art work of dead rabbit. The camera catches a dead rabbit sam taylor wood refreshes the traditional work of still life and tells story about the transient nature of life.

The camera catches a dead rabbit which is decomposing rapidly before our eyes, while the mellow peach beside it stays untouched all the time. In an odd, beautiful way it shows how fast a once living being can disappear without any possibility of changing it.

Taylor Wood manipulated the combination of creating a strategies to direct her views attention and receipt of the piece. using composition and lighting typical of fine art painting or photography.

Tony Oursler 

Tony Oursler is an american multimedia and installation artist. He completed a BA in fine arts at the California institute for the arts. His art covers a range of mediums working with video, sculpture, installation, performance and painting.

Tony Oursler creates scenes of disfigured, immobile bodies sculpted from video projections of moving faces on their head. In some cases, Tony Oursler projects fragmented facial features onto walls and bulbous sculptures, creating fro face by using the projector, he often places decapitated heads in uncomfortable positions on the floor or installed alongside props as more faces projected onto the heads spew a narrative art making. The development of Tony Oursler is that he used objects for his art work to create faces by using projector it's a creative idea and the visual based of the lighting and placing the object in uncomfortable places.












Christian Marclay

The clock is an art installation by artist Christian Marclay. it is a looped 24 hours montage that functions as a clock. it's scenes are selected from cinema and television history with real time references to the time of the day. Christian Marclay work took about 2 years to create that must took him a lot time to spend on the project the 24 hours film.


It's impressive idea to create based on real time "The clock" Christian Marclay's 24 hours long video collage pulls together thousands of clips from movies throughout history, most of them showing a clock or watch displaying the same time at that very moment of the day in the world outside the video screen. In other words however if you're watching "The clock" at 11:15am you'll see a scene from a movie in which it's 11:15am. The clock' is constructed out of moments in cinema when time is expressed or when a character interacts with a clock, watch or just particular time of the day. Marclay has excerpted thousands of these fragments and edited them so that they flow in real time. While the clock examines how time, plot and duration are depicted in cinema, the video is also a working time piece. The audience can look at the work and use it to tell the time.
