Gary Hill

This is a piece from Gary Hill, a video artist. Here you can see each person slightly moving in real time, and thats all they really do. They don't talk, however the idea for this piece isn't for them to talk, its for them to convey a presence, almost like something a small crowd would do. Since you don't know these people, they're there to fill up space, much like a normal crowd would, however the only difference is that they don't talk. I thought this was a very smart way of giving the viewer a sense of not being alone even when they were actually alone. Even walking around the room had to have been different since it doesn't seem like the figures are moving in the exact same way everytime even though that might be exactly what they're doing.
