Stephen Vitiello is a digital sound artist so he is basically my favorite. I really like how he incorporates music/sound into his visual work.

Vito Acconci has created some crazy stuff. He is a performance artist and one of the first videographers so he is kind of a big deal. Some of his videos are…a bit disturbing. He puts a spin on his art that causes the audience to feel uneasy as if the art is meant to reflect what we don’t want to pay attention to instead of focusing on something pleasant.

Pfeiffer introduces a new and intriguing perspective to the digital world. In his photographs he omits all players but one and includes a spotlight creating a godlike image on the court.

Matthew Ritchie has a whimsical feel to his work. Also, I like the colors he uses and also the hidden chacters within his pictures.

Bill’s many video installations have reoccurring themes of birth and death. They also use water and fire in a number of ways. Bill’s waterfall effect is prevalent in many of his videos and adds a signature quality to his work.
I think Bill’s work is interesting and has many layers that can be analyzed.

Jeff has an array of interesting and comical digital art. He creates pictures and animations with many digital alterations. Some of which are gif ‘s (and gifts!) and include stills that portray a movement within the piece. One of my favorites is “breeze” which shows a tree moving as if a breeze is blowing through it. I like how there is an edless supply of different pieces to sift through.
Jeff’s work is quirky yet interesting. It gives new perspective on pre-existing works and reinvents GIF images. I also think his various websites provide extra humor in addition to his work.
Robin Rhode

Robin Rhode is a digital artist who works with chalk and charcoal, animations, and performances. While he uses conventional materials, Rhode incorporates a variety of unconventional elements to his pieces. In his, “Car on Bricks” Robin draws a car using a wall as his canvas and places bricks in place of the wheels to create the illusion that the drawing is somehow propped up on the brick piles. As in his piece, “Juggla” there is a man who interacts with a stone wall in front of him. On the wall are the balls that the man is juggling.
I think Robin’s work is inventive, fun, and interesting. Robin conveys a real sense of playfulness in his pieces while also maintaining ambiguous boundaries. His art is not just about mixing the two and three dimensional worlds, but reveals the influence of hip-hop, graffiti, and his cultural background of the post-apartheid era. Robin manages to reach audiences of all levels with his whimsical performances and cultural meanings. The more I come to understand the story of each piece, the more I love Robin’s work.

Pipilotti Frist

Pipiotti Rist is a digital artist who creates video installations. Her videos are full of color and vibrant objects. In one of her videos, “I’m not the girl who misses much” Pipilotti sings and dances with her breasts exposed. Many of her videos portray statements about the human body and senses. In another video, “Ever is all over” a woman walks down a street, smashing windows in. Her video installations are often huge, spanning an entire wall or al four walls of a room.
I enjoy the bright and vivid colors of Pipilotti’s work. I think the videos are very beautiful. Some of them are a bit outside the box, but I like how Pipilotti instills meaning into these videos about feminism and the senses.
