I like the way he break the content into different parts and play them on different screens.
Douglas Gordon
It is interesting to see the little animals and insects in Douglas Gordon's video.
Make-up - Make-down, Sanja Ivekovic, 1978
The artist put on her make-up like she was facing a mirror, so the audience is like standing just behind the mirror, watching she doing the private stuff.
It is really interactive and involve the audience into her work.
This reminds me of use the setting and video as a trigger to make the audience respond to your work, to experiment with different experience and emotions you can have when watching the video.

Play Dead; Real Time (this way, that way, the other way), Douglas Gordon, 2003, tate
Temporary Dwellings, Nil Yalter, 1974-7
The archival Board panels record details of the lives of immigrant communities in Istanbul, Paris and New York.
And the screen play the documentary about interviews with the inhabitants of those locations.
This inspires me that I can add other materials to help better explain the video and strengthen the effects.

Gilbert & George
One thing I like Gilbert & George the most is the way they separate the screen into parts and add different ---- but all very strong ----colors into them. You can simply feel the emotions inside and it can even change the way you feel about the environment you are in. I think I should explore more about working on the screen when making videos like separating it or add color or maybe other sort of layers to strengthen the effects. I didn't do well in this part based on the videos I've made.
Video Trans Americas, Juan Downey, 1976, tate
I was inspired by this for the way Juan Downey used the whole room as part of his work and let the video interact with the environment. When the audience walk in to watch, they will become part of it.

Manifesto, Julian Rosefeldt
I really really really love Manifesto for those ideologies used in each chapter.
I always want to use the video as a media to convey information and ideas.
Also, Julian Rosefeldt actually direct a little play in his work. I think this is different from other works. It requires more sense of visualizing your idea and is really challenging but an excellent way for communicating and expression.
Changing Light Corridor with Rooms, Brue Nauman, 1971, tate
One of my ideas about how to present my video is to put the screen at the end of the corridor and the audience will stand at the end on the other side of the corridor.
