Knife and Chair Post

In each of these videos, there is conveyed a certain emotion or vibe. For example, in the knife video, as the light changes and passes from a red hue to a greenish blue one, the mood of the picture turns from one of a cooled sense of content or relaxation to a sense of tension or suspense when the red is introduced. The mood in the chair piece is one of a weightless nature. As the feathers are falling, there is the feeling of weightlessness in the feathers an then a feeling of solidity in the chair. As the video continues, there is a sense of overwhelming as the feathers collect. I believe each piece showed an interesting emotion, whether we choose to recognize it or not. Also, I feel as if the chair is experiencing a moment in time that is unique or part of a spectacle, since it is not usual that feathers are falling from the sky. In this way, I believe the chair plays a characteristic role and the people are acting around it. I enjoyed these two videos...
