Immersed in the Single Channel Response

The concept of giving up artistic abilities and almost artistic rights in the form of single channel videos is super interesting a point I had never thought of before. Having to take your work to galleries in the form of an installment rather than putting them into film festivals. It's a more economic savvy way about doing work in today's world as galleries tend to pay more than just the recognition you might get at film festivals but still this severely alters the way artists go about creating their work, as it has to be thought of as installment now instead - something that people will walk in and out of at their own will. Not only will the work of the artist change itself in timing, technique, delivery, aesthetic and meaning but it will also severely effect the way people take in the work as well. Feature films and those shown in theater settings have a full cohesive tone that leaves the audience feeling a certain curated feeling from this film. Instillation pieces can and will only be seen in spurts by passing by gallery attendees. There is no full out cohesive feeling that comes with these pieces but instead it's more of a "Watch this space for a while until something of interest, um, can conceivably appear".

In my opinion this will take away from the full effect of the video being seen in the instillation. People will for the most part not leave with the desired effect that artist had originally intended - especially if it is a much longer piece, people will definitely not stay and watch the whole thing as that is the not feeling of a gallery. This whole change in concept and delivery within these types of videos is super interesting to me as I had not given it much thought in the past but it is definitely a serious concept that is being seen more and more in todays video art world.
