Modern and Postmodern

I chose the video titled "Uncertainty:Modernidity and Art" because as I have read and from my personal experiences, it was evident that the modernidity of art can sometimes confuse the viewer. This is because modern art communicates so many different things. There no longer is one simple code that we follow with art. I like how the video goes into depth discussing the many uncertainties created by our modern art. One key point that stuck with me from this video was that "modern art never stops changing, but keeps keeps responding to the same problem, modern living."

The second video I chose was "Andy Warhol: Images of an Image" because I found the idea suggested by this title to be interesting and was curious to find out what it referred to. This video discussed the many techniques and works of Andy Warhol. He did a lot of works where he repeated images, a lot of which were commercial advertisements and celebrities. He was well known for his silk screens such as the work titled "Ten Lizes."
