Mary Magsamen and Stephan Hillerbrand

I found this project which explored different projection techniques. It is a video installation and also a performance piece. What was interesting was that the video was projected on the floor which is rather untraditional. It gave a disorienting feel for the viewer and the performers.

I then looked up the artist, Mary Magsamen who is a collaborative artist with her husband Stephan Hillerbrand. Their work is very interesting. First off, their web site is a spoof of a dating web site which I thought to be very "new media" and a less boring way to look into their lives as people and artists. Their work which is mostly video and photography explores everyday activities and often involves their daughter. Bringing a sense of personal reality to their work in a comedic sense makes it more effective.
