Tony Oursler is know for his narrative homemade video tapes. He elaborates sounds tracks, painted sets and stop-action animation with special events created by the artist. His early worlds are in dark room environments with video, sound and language mixed with color contracted sculptural elements. He used reflections in water, mirrors, glass and other devices to remove the moving images from the monitor.
I am not really a fan of his video work because it doesn't really leave me wanting more and i think its because it was kind of disturbing in a way. I Just didn't really get any fascination out of his work. One of his installation from 1991is called "Unk" and in this video it featured a doll and a dummy. He uses handmade soft cloth figures that were combined with expressive faces that were animated by the video projection. His work is displayed as sad and pathetic.
This is the first artist that I have researched and found no interest in looking more into his work. I don't really understand the point and message of his work that he is trying to entertain the audience with.
