i found Nico Vassalis' Negative Alphabet to be very interesting. The smallest alteration on letters can change them surprisingly drastically. What I like about them is how one can visualize the invisible shape of the dissection along with the shape that is made by cutting it out. I also really enjoyed his video pieces. One that stood out to me was staring index. I was very intrigued by how the characters seem to become more and more abstracted as they pass by. I problem I had with it, however, what the colorful filter that goes on in the background. As I mentioned in class, I am not sure if it adds to the piece or takes away from it. It seems to me that this aspect of the piece give it too much information. Maybe it’s just me.
