The fans and the sound in this installation simulates the sounds and movement of the helicopter. The fans spin incredibly fast, with the loud sound simulating the engine, this piece situations the audience into the threatening environment. This work brings in discussion of social justice, violence, and surveillance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I found this work inspiring and relevant to this class because it records, captures, and displays the event in a way that challenges the viewers to physically engage with video works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Links:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/art-world\/alfredo-jaar-whitney-biennial-2022-2093016\">https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/art-world\/alfredo-jaar-whitney-biennial-2022-2093016<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/2022\/04\/25\/2022-whitney-biennial-video-artists\">https:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/2022\/04\/25\/2022-whitney-biennial-video-artists<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>06.01.2020 18.39 (2022).
