I feel like the incorperation of video is relevant in the moma ps1 space atleast. Even though it isnt a new medium in itself it is how our generation communicates the most. In a contemporary art space it makes sense to me to incorporate more screens. I feel like Simon Dennys exhibition would’ve be more powerful or come across more fully if he would have used more visuals instead of more text. I feel like even if you dont watch the whole film you can still be impacted just by looking and connecting with what moves in it. It is easier for someone who doesnt know what the piece os about to connect to it in a film way I think instead of feeling lost looking and trying to connect to a painting for instance, which doesn’t move or give you any direction on how to view it.
