Taylor Rients Video Black Response Week 4
I thought Viola had some interesting thoughts however, overall, I’m confused on his main argument.
A few questions I ran into while reading this were: Can an image be iconic but not timeless? Or timeless but not iconic? Or do these characteristics have to go hand in hand?
Viola also had a lot to say about images holding power but I could not decipher if he was saying how this is a good or bad thing? But that this power is acquired through the worship of that icon. What does it mean or look like to worship an icon that’s not in a religious-stereotypical way.
In regard to the commentary on Brunelleschi’s demonstration; it seems as though society has issues with our worldview being shattered because people do not like change. But if we don’t have change- how do we progress?
A few things that I want to keep in mind, going forward in the class, are that perception and manipulation of the viewer is a technique that can be used to add to a video/picture.
