When viewing these pieces, I was at first exasperated as to what this sort of video art piece could try to communicate. First impressions reminded me of the various bizarre mashups created by the Youtube community. In these mashups, seemingly unrelated clips from all over the internet were compiled together to form something completely different, whether that be song remixes or inappropriate dialogs.

However, as I looked closer at the piece, I noticed something major. The imagery wasn't quite randomly arranged, but rather it came together to form some larger cohesive imagery. Examples includes the faces formed of collages of gifs in Don't Worry be Happy or the use of the light pyramid in specific scenes of Welcome to My Homepage. This complicated layering of form was used in order to construct other larger, richer features of the video piece. The wide range of colors used also added a lot of energy to the peace. Both of these things gave the work sheer visceral visual appeal and a surreal atmosphere which I responded with awe.
