Week 9 - Gary Hill

In reviewing his work I noticed that Gary Hill manipulates sounds and videos. In his work "Bathing" there is a video of a woman washing her hair, but different filters and colors were used to make a simple task more interesting. There is no sound in the video which tells me that he wants the viewer to focus on the video, and not sound. Similarly, in "Windows" Hill films a windows, which in seems dull, but he uses different colors, textures and patterns in his filming to make something as mundane as a window more interesting. In "Electronic Linguistic" Hill alters video and sound. It appears that he is filming the video game Pong. He distorts the sound and skews the video to create a facinating array of sounds and images. I think it is incredibly creative that alters boring everyday objects and sounds to makes them more interesting.
