Reflecting upon my previous thoughts about youtube as a method for showing video, i have decided to take my drawing machine artworks out into the real world and give live performances and demonstrations. This gives the audience a first hand experience, actually seeing and feeling the work take place. i feel the direct link will allow the viewer to interact with the work on a deeper level of thought and interaction. I will asses different locations for their art displaying properties. some locations may lend themselves better to being a stage than others. also different locations may attract different people and therefore a different audience to the work.
I think that my work will work better in a live situation because some of the marks the drawing machines make are very individual but also subtle. the work has to be seen by the viewer in person so that there is no barrier between them and the work. Shooting a video of a drawing machine and putting it onto youtube forces the viewer to see the work from a particular angle and donst allow for individuals who may wish to view the work from various perspectives. also the video quality on youtube is no crisp enough to show the detailed marks of the drawings. The sound is also distorted and seemingly un-realistic. with a live performance the audience get so much more from my artwork in terms of an experience.
