"TONY OURSLER!!!!!!"(1)



My latest IDOL!!!!!!!!
 Tony Oursler, a New York video artist, explores his subject matters through video/sculpture installations. This exhibition was called " EYE IN THE SKY". The eye sculptures are metaphors for the human condition in a media-saturated age. The sculptures were suspended in the air and looping video clips were projected onto it. This animations gave life and movements to the still sculptures. As the eye was the only part the viewer can see, Oursler illuminates any identity of the sculpture. From the sound and reflected image on the retina, the work conveys a common activities of this generation; consuming media(tv, etc..) Without any clues from facial expression or body language, we focus on the single eyes twitching blinking as it takes in various type of info; weather forecast, commercial.
