the creator of the film koyaanisqatsi was Godfrey Reggio it took 6 years to make the film was an experimental video it came out in 1983 there was acting in this film and all of the images was about the old and the new for example the cave men pictures in the beginning and the rocket tacking off also with the music it was chanting like cave men did and then moved into classical music so i think that it is about old, new, death and destruction.
another thought about it is to do with pollution like wasting good thing like all of the building being knocked down and all of the people wasting water with every building boarded up so they have nothing.
Also all of the fast and slow images going through live like the mountains and the sand but it has very mellow music in the back ground so even though it is fast the music makes it seam calm same then the rocket blows up even though it is a strong image with calming music.

chapter 4 The use of exhibition space to create meaning
The context in which you view the work is often as important as the work so if the piece was in a gallery then it would be important because if it was in the town then it would not as important because people would not appreciate it in the town they would be focus on something else but if they were in gallery they know that it is important and they would concentrate on it more.
When I went to TATE I was looking at a piece called 30 piece of silver by Cornelia Parker it was good because she steamrolled over all the pieces and they were hanging from wire and it was 5 by 6 and it was very nice.
It is in a room by it self I thing it was because people walk in there and think about it more if there was other pieces of art then they would not give it the same attention and would not thing about it.
When you walk in the room I feel that you can not talk if you do then you have to whisper because I think that people I trying to concentrate on it.
The art makes me feel that I came wall on then like lily pads in the water this is because there is no other art to distract me.

girl chewing gum -Jonh Smith (1974)
Girl chewing Gum by John Smith
CRAFT
He is filming people in the street they are doing there on things and he is directing them on what they are doing it seems like he is doing it but when he says that the old man is going home how does he now that and the man just robbed the post office and that he Had a gun in his pocket put he does not now that so he is not there he is just watching it and he is adding his own voice.
CONCEPT
When the narrator tells you about the characters he is adding things to then so he is making it up to make it more interesting for the audience so it makes you think he is telling them what to do.
When John smith tell the people what to do the audience don't no whether they are acting or not.
