I mean Matthew Barney. So Creamaster 3. A very conceptual piece of video and visual art, and in it's own world. The Order, while poorly shot, makes up in concept and visual cues. The abstract ideas presented in the video are both oddly grotesque and mystifying, and while a lot of the concepts were hard to follow, the unifying idea of rediscovery and backtracking provided for an interesting storyline. I will admit, I first found the video dull and pretentious, but later realized and understood some of the concepts that were conveyed throughout the work, and found myself drawn to the overall film. As mentioned in the class, the short film has a video-game-esque essence presented, with a timer running down, different levels to the storyline, and the use of backtracking to gain more knowledge / tools. Being a moderate gamer myself, this idea really stuck to me (and has set me in a state of reminiscing) and gave an interesting perspective to the action in all.
I wish Matthew Barney would have decided to shoot and edit the short film a little more professionally, but it definitely gives it a more lasting and real impression...
