Kate: I think your topic is really interesting and that you can go pretty deep with it. I enjoyed learning about the history and complications behind the piece, as well as Rothko's inspiration for it from the library in Florence. The piece definitely reminded me of Rothko's chapel that we studied earlier in the year, with the whole idea of the use of open space, so you could probably explore this in your paper.
Yiwen: The points you made in your paper and presentation were very good, I think. I know that I was freaked out by the pointing video and the coughing one as well, so when you talked about the audience feeling uncomfortable and looking away, I definitely knew what you meant. I think I looked away after like 5 seconds. The Time Delay video was really interesting to me as well, and I think you could really get into the unique effect of this idea of a 4th dimension with all of the examples you proposed.
Anita: I think your thesis is very straightforward and easy to understand, with the whole idea of being anti-capitalism and against the mainstream. I think you should go even deeper to explore different types of grafitti from the types we usually see in urban streets and walls, such as the yes men or the billboard thing that we saw a bit of at the end. People have been trying to fight the mainstream through art for years, but I feel that grafitti is the only type that hasn't in some way given in to capitalism.
