Viewing this piece in its intended environment was definitely different than viewing it in class. Viewing the piece on such a large scale really changed how I saw it. The scale and really the texture of the building really changed how I viewed this piece. I've seen this piece driving past before and always saw it as just abstract shapes, it wasn't until I viewed it in class that I realized it was a video with an actual subject. However, even after knowing the subject of the video I found that the scale, angle, and texture of the building really obscured the subject for me and made it difficult for me to not see only those abstract shapes. (I did also have one martini before viewing this, so that potentially could have lead to some vision issues.) Overall, I think its interesting that this is the intended environment for this piece as I think it makes the meaning and subject of the piece much more difficult to understand.
