xpez…you make an interesting point vis-a- vis “banal and mundane imagery” but I think that the genius of this piece is that it’s voyeuristic nature appeals to a deeper sense of self.

Interesting …
Interesting comments here. The extraordinary qualities and scale of the canvases offered here for this work compels viewers to engage with the work.
What an artist applies to a canvas is always open to critique and debate.
We applaud Doug Aitken for this innovative lyrical work and MOMA and Creative Time for curating it.

So are you implying …
So are you implying that the context is a Band-Aid for weak imagery or are you implying that the context presents the banal and mundane in a new light…or both?

the spectacle of giant screened video will always be seductive. With that in mind even the most banal and mundane imagery will be interesting, simply because of the context.

I just missed …
I just missed seeing this in NYC live, seeing this video, I really regret not seeing it in person. This is where video art should be going. Immersive, site specific, haunting and engaged in a conversation even without words with images that create what must have been many different experiences depending on your perspectives and interaction with the piece.
