“The Art of Sleep”

The Art of SleepThe title of this piece stood out from the rest of the artwork to me. The thumbnail was just a blank box as opposed to all the other colorful eye-catching pieces. The piece is simple; comprised of a plain blank canvas with changing big black font that is synchronized to a catchy soundtrack. The artist, Young-Hae Chang, does a great job of pacing the sentences to keep the viewer interested enough to keep reading, well, at least for me. I felt like he was trying to be a little too artsy with it (maybe trying to prove his “art”work), but overall, I thought his presentation and concept were simple and intriguing. It’s kind of long.. http://www.tate.org.uk/netart/artofsleep/ It’s not letting me link the Gif/thumbnail to link to the website so please copy and paste the address.
