In our class discussion about Altermodernism, which is defined as an attempt at making art in today's world as a reaction against regularity and commercialization. We were introduce to one of the craziest, boldest, weirdest, people I have ever witness on film Marcus Coates. In the video we watch on him we discovered his rare gifts and abilities. This was shocking to me when i saw it but he actually uses his skills to bypass his humanness to experience the world through the mind and body of a animal. Now sounds weird enough right? Well its even weirder watching a film on it. I couldn't help to laugh at the reactions he got from people watching him perform his rituals. He is a very unique and interesting man and he gets a lot of respect in my book because i don't know how he has the courage to go out and do what he does. He says that he translates the actions of animals and compares them to human experiences. Seeing it I didn't consider it as art, I just felt like this guy needed help but many people enjoy his work and skills and consider it art.
