When visiting the Carnegie Art Museum I found it somewhat difficult to select an artwork which I felt was compelling enough to want to try to recreate the experience I had viewing it. That is, until I had found an installation of video art by a group called paper rad

These video art installations were, quite frankly, absurd and supremely fascinating to look at. These videos made heavy use of blown up simple gifs, arranging them in ways that created surreal imagery across a backdrop of pulsating colors and frantic movement. These gifs are choreographed to bizarre chiptune music, adding even more energy (whether it be positive or brooding) to the work.
The reason I found these two video art pieces compelling was how audacious it was. No other installation had quite so much movement in their construction. Another reason was that at the gallery, these videos were featured with heavily muted sound, something which removed context from the rapidly moving images in the video and introduced an even more surreal atmosphere to the work.
