This was a very interesting lecture about art. It was not really your typical art you would see at a museum. It was not paintings or photographs, which you would consider to be art. It was videos, poetry, and music, which was different for me to see. I guess anything can be art now of day. There was a video that was called "Cat fight" where two girls were fighting and in the same video was these clackers that kept jumping around and hitting each other. There was another video called "Elist Lake" where there was a wheelchair going down a road and by the end of the video the wheelchair collapses. Krutz's was talking about the radio active waste from mining going down to a retirement home where there was nobody there to watch the elderly.

there was a song that Krutz's made called "Sad but True". She said she downloaded 368 songs from the internet in a two week period about sadness. All the songs that she downloaded had Sad in the title. She took these songs and layered them on  top of each other to make a shole different kind of song/sound. It was very funny to listen to. For me it sounded horrible, scary and depressing. I would have never thought of making a song like that. She said it was bout 15 minutes long. There was a really unique slide show of pictures that Krutz's was showing us. Each slide had four different pictures that were cut up and it was telling 3 different story lines. There was also animation , a re-authoring of Run Lola Run. She said she took about 9600 pictures during a 6 week period. She described it as a n emotion rollercoaster, it was calm and then loud. Also which was interesting is when she made us listen to "Hippie Shit" it was people singing a Greatfull Dead song, Acappella from the year 1972. She also showed us poems but it was in a different layout. The words did not just go from left to right but in a spiral formation. She likes to experiment with different types of fonts and words she said. Krutz's also showed us these video of a neon light that was on the wall horizontally. She recorded the sound of that it was making. Very weird. I really did not understand it. This art was very different and unusual as I said early to want I usually to what I consider to be art. This made me think outside the box and push limits for me when i go to do my projects in the future.
