Video Painting Example

       The video "Irregular Flow" from Ozan Tekin, I believe, shows a great example of a video painting. When I think of video painting I see it as using a video taken from real life and using it to create a visual piece of art. In this piece there is a girl standing near a wall and touches the corner of it in different spots and where her finger touches vertical ink drips horizontally across the wall. The artist took a real life video and added a surreal touch with the ink. This video drew me in because of the simplicity of it as well as the false reality of the ink being dripped across the wall. I found it to be very striking and very pleasant to watch. It didn't completely envelope your attention so this piece could be set in the background on a loop without anything being missed. Video painting is very hard to pin down to a specific definition so this is not the only example that can be tied to this genre.
