Weekly Roundup

On Art 21's Blog, I found a very interesting video that caught my attention as i scrolled the page. The title of the article was Weekly Round Up and, while reading through the artist it named off, i played the video of Carie Mae Weem's "The Obama Project(2012)". It played a slow series of different portraits of Obama's head to shoulders, keeping his facial structure but mutating him or abstracting him in different ways. Weem's video is something unbelievably creative but also very symbolic,possible a sort of political view over Obama as the President. Now that the elections are over it might receive more attention from others and could also bring some controversy between Obama. I do not have a big political view but this surely catches my attention, especially just after the election, after Obama's victory.
