Burtynsky

The other day we watched the movie; Urban Landscapes by Edward Burtynsky. This movie really showed us Edward's "larger than life" photography. It also really taught us the importance of audio working with imagery to give us that overall mood. You can look at the same image twice with two completely different feelings and ideas just by switching the background noise you hear. An exciting loud boisterous sound can be put next to a depressing, sad picture and brighten it up a lot, or vise versa. This really gives the artist maximum control over the impact they have on the viewer. We can give multiple feelings to a viewer through multiple senses. Taking control of all sensory intake would be the ample situation every artist should look for; and combining pictures with sound is a great start. You should never look at art listening to your own music, first always ask the artist what he thinks would work; because what you're hearing affects the way you intake what you are viewing. And proper intake is important.
