In last part of chapter 1 Michael Rush cites an artist, Trisha Brown created one of the first dance performance media videos in 1966 (77). The video shows Brown dancing with a projector to her back showing images of her choreography as she real time performing in front of audience. I thought it was a interesting and cool idea. Curious to see if the projector was in the way of the live performance. Or that was intention or if she powered through. The weight of projector did not even phase her. She is total badass if she did not have any problems. I think she is badass either way.
K Foundation's performance K Foundation Burn a Million Quid , Aug. 23, 1995 Andrew Ruesseth mentions a couple artist including Andy Warhol, and the infamous banana on the wall piece of art. And how much is art worth? A comment on society's values of high art which raises the question of what makes using money in art wrong. Burning it to make a statement that we put so much value in a piece a paper that all it is a piece of paper. Or using precious gemstones that valued high rate already why make a ridiculous medium out of it. Because why not that how most people live their lives thinking about money. Either you have a lot of it or live paycheck to paycheck. And if you live middle class all you do is hope you live to move up or down.
