Videos as art have always flummoxed me. I love short films but when someone refers to such a film as "art" there is an immediate expectation that it be "more" than anything you simply refer to as a "short film."
I do not claim that this is rational on my part but interpreting art is sometimes as much a feeling as it is concrete thought (and since there is some question about whether I am actually capable of thought I go with the "feeling" part).
I saw several pieces of video art at the Art Miami exhibit that was part of Art Basel and I liked many. One with a gentleman leading sheep around in a circle was another that stuck in my mind.
But Omer Fast's CNN Concatenated was what really stuck in my tiny brain. You can see it in its entirity HERE. What really makes this for me is how he incorporates the "clicks, ticks and pauses" of the anchors.
