[HunterMann]

Question: Were all of these actual projections or were some of the video clips inserted during the editing of this piece? H.M., founder Highway Cinema (16mm projection)

todays poetry... simply great...!

[jclarencelove3rd]

Doug wrote it himself...

[patkinsonmo]

He works with several musicans in LA where he is based. We just installed his work 'Migration' at a museum and asked the same question to his representative.

[horsewolf]

anyone know who did the music for this?

[mmammola1021]

xpez...you make an interesting point vis-a- vis "banal and mundane imagery" but I think that the genius of this piece is that it's voyeuristic nature appeals to a deeper sense of self.

[nickostranierodotcom]

great artist great videoinstallation..wish i was there. music add a lot to this documentation.. that by itself is an artwork.

[treewhore]

how nice to see a document of an art work that strives to be an art work itself.

[treewhore]

strives and succeeds.

[midgetsx]

love doug aiken and this music? anyone know who the composer is?

[wyllieohagan]

Interesting comments here. The extraordinary qualities and scale of the canvases offered here for this work compels viewers to engage with the work.

What an artist applies to a canvas is always open to critique and debate.

We applaud Doug Aitken for this innovative lyrical work and MOMA and Creative Time for curating it.

this is so beautiful, i wish i could have watched from outside.

[goddamnyou]

does anyone know who wrote the musical piece? I really like the music.

[kukybailly]

poetic, inspiring...

[igmarenoir]

great

I wish I was there

[xpez]

the spectacle of giant screened video will always be seductive. With that in mind even the most banal and mundane imagery will be interesting, simply because of the context.

[stuf2007]

Yep, i agree ;P

[LorenzoNW]

So are you implying that the context is a Band-Aid for weak imagery or are you implying that the context presents the banal and mundane in a new light...or both?

[dw235]

Brilliant. Thank you.

I just missed seeing this in NYC live, seeing this video, I really regret not seeing it in person. This is where video art should be going. Immersive, site specific, haunting and engaged in a conversation even without words with images that create what must have been many different experiences depending on your perspectives and interaction with the piece.
