Internet Art Intro

The first person I will discuss is Nam June Paik. Nam is most known for being considered the founder of video art. As an artist Nam would take television sets and make music and sound flow with images on the screen or even mess with the electronic forces in a colour television. This absolutely amazing, who would have known that you could make art out of a television set, or a few television sets stacked on top of each other. He was also known for his making of robots from these television sets.

Another artist from this chapter is Cindy Sherman. I have learned of Cindy Sherman's series "Untitled Film Stills" before, and absolutely love the serious of photographs she has produced. Each photo looks as though it is a still from a film, you would never guess that it was just another photograph. The characters have such emotion, and the perspective always gets you right in on the action. She was a feminist, and shows this in a lot of her photographs, In her "Untitled Film Stills" she depicts how she sees women in today's society.
