Art of the Digital Age Ch 3-4

A piece that I thought was really interesting was the piece by Dan Collins entitled Twister, which to me was very powerful because most of his body is clearly seen but his head area has been twisted to create powerful lines that lead up to the top which I think is unique since most sculptures are of the whole body. Another piece that I thought was interesting was the piece by Kenneth Snelson entitled Chain  Bridge Bodies, what I really liked about it was the shapes that were used that made up the chain-like boulders which really gave them power along with the ones that floated aimlessly in the sky like sort of like planets. Not only that they were virtual sculptures and since I'm barely scratching the surfaces of the program known as blender, it would be interesting to see what programs and techniques Snelson used to create his virtual art pieces. A very disturbing piece that I saw which caught my attention was the piece by Michael Rees, simply because the shape of the human body created a centipede-gymnastic form that reminded me of a movie I have not seen and do not want to see entitled "The Human Centipede" which my friends told me about. A piece in Chapter 4 by Erwin Redl entitled Matrix II reminded me of the movie "The Matrix" and I'm not sure if the artist was thinking about the movie as well but to me it did but it also gives me a sense of time travel for some reason.
