Art in Motion

In Shanken pages 15-30, the topic I found most interesting was that of the Motion, Duration and Illumination (pages 16-22). The first sentence of this sections states "traditional visual art is static: it captures or represents a moment in time." Now, this is cool and all, but in my opinion it has the potential to get stale after awhile. Going to a museum and looking at a painting can be entertaining, but that painting will always be the same no matter what. I find changeable art to be much more entertaining, and this can come in many different forms. My personal favorite would probably be video, as there is almost unlimited potential in the creation of video. Anything from cartoon to live action to CGI to audio, the possibilities are nearly endless. Hooray for changing art!
