Video Project

I wanted to do a video mocking the style of videos we saw in class as examples which showed the artist 'performing' some mundane activity for far too long and calling it art, such as in Bas Jan Ader's creepy crying and the smiling lady's video.  For my pointless act, I chose to film myself writing "I am not an artist" over and over again on some paper on a wall, then tearing it off.  I picked this phrase because anyone can create a video like this, and people will either see it as genius or nonsense, depending on whether or not he is an established artist.  I wanted to show that these kinds of videos, in my opinion, are stupid and ridiculous, but also that it doesn't really matter what I think if the artist considers what he does as art.
