There are all these video screen with people talking. Large new widescreen tv’s. There are cube chairs to sit on, one in front of each screen. There are headphones connected to each tv sitting on the cube chair. the monitors are set up in two concentric circles–there must be 30 of them.
I started at 3:00 position when you come in from the other gallery. I watched one monitor for about 15 minutes.
The monitor was a monolog by an Israeli women about teaching babies sign language, about her thoughts on diversity, and about her thoughts on LA. She was cool & I almost cried when she got all excited about her daughters first use of sign language.
The video looped after about 15 minutes & there was no indication about the start and stop which I think was part of the point. The women commented on the guy filming her several times which was interesting.
Getting through all of these videos will take a long time, but I will try going around and see if my thoughts on this project change. And it really does feel a lot more like a project then like an art piece.
