Have you ever wondered why we can stand in front of the mirror and look at our reflection but we get a bit uneasy looking at ourselves recorded on tape? A friend noted recently that: no one can stand looking at ourselves acting on camera.
(it is kind of like how we cannot stand listening to our own voice recorded. I know i sound very different in my head so while the inflections and the way we drag certain words are there in the recording, the tone just sounds off and of course disembodied.)
just a thought resulting from looking at video art for an upcoming presentation.
