Experimental Video....Andy Huang-Dollface

I absolutely loved this piece it was a very emotional with many of hidden meanings. The video was a face attached to a machine she was staring at a television set constantly changing her image to look like what the television was showing.
This piece is trying to get across a message that everyone works like a machine as the face in the piece is attached to a machine, it also showed that she was chasing a dream and or an image that she cannot ever achieve which is a lot like people in our society today.
The piece portrays what people would do to achieve perfection, and how she is trying to fit in and be and or achieve something that she is not and trying reach an unobtainable goal.
The piece also shows how television in a way influencing our thought process and mesmerises us to think that people on television are perfect this piece shows how following this perception of perfection on television eventually can lead to lead to destruction as at the end of the piece the machine breaks and her face smashes, this could mean all sorts of things for example life issues like anorexia.
Dollface seems like a simple less craft piece,however,there has obviously been a lot of animation and computer graphics in this piece too create the machine and how it works. The piece is highly conceptual for all the reasons i have stated above it has so many different meanings and can be seen in so many different ways. Putting this piece into context, it is obviously Andy's main goal is getting across the point of there is a price that comes with beauty and he shows this in so many brilliant ways in the piece.
