Shanken pg 96-120

On page 106, a piece that caught my attention was Peter Weibek's piece called Obeservation of the Observation:Uncertainty, which had cameras positioned in a way that the viewer in the center could only see themselves from a third person perspective. Shanken writes that the piece "creat[ed] a shift of perceptual expectation that is very unsettling" (106). This is interesting because it changes the role of the person as no longer being a bystander viewing art,  but instead the person becomes the art. I think that the reason why Shanken said it was "unsettling" was because it was changing the persons perception, which art normally doesn't do, unless it surreal art which I think does try to change the viewers perception. Also on page 106, the piece by Dan Graham called Present Continuous Pasts(s), was engaging because the viewer is watching themselves on video, but with a 8 seconds time delay. This piece is also similar to Weibek's piece because it changes the perception of the viewer and that they themselves are creating the art via the recorded video of themselves.
