The piece by Peter Campus named “Three Transitions” tries to mess with your perception o space. He projects the video of himself going through the projection screen and it creates this weird feeling of disorientation while watching it. You can clearly tell that he’s moving through the screen and it’s a video on the paper, but it makes you feel uneasy. The second transition keeps messing with your perception of space when he spreads, what I can only assume is green paint, all over his face revealing a video of his own face with the paint. The black background really helps with illusion of all the transitions. Although the editing makes you feel uneasy it’s satisfying by the end of the transition. With the first one he satisfies the audience when he tapes the projector screen back together. With the second one he does the same by covering almost the entirety of his face. The third one the paper burns until you can’t see his face anymore relieving the stress that that transition was causing.
Peter Weibel’s “Endless Sandwich” was also pretty interesting. He set up the television to play the same video over and over again. The timing was different for most of them though which lead to some interesting shots. You can see when the first T.V. turns off and the domino effect begins. The transition between him standing up in the first television and the second one felt kind of strange. The image is so small that you can barely tell what is going on at first. All you see the screen turn dark and him standing. This lead to a slow realization of what is actually happening and it came to be pretty interesting. Weibel’s reasoning for this video can’t be explained without a little background information or some context. It might be a commentary on the rise of television and its hold on Americans.
