Class trip to Whitney Museum

          The classical trip to the Whitney Museum was definitely the highlight of my day.  Since this was my first time to go to that museum, my curiosity definitely got fulfilled by those amazing art works and short videos inside the exhibition. The video piece I saw was called “A very long line” by Postcommodity. This was projected in a room with several projectors pointed at each side of the wall. All you can see was grass behind those bars and you can see the landscape moving while the video is playing. This meant to show show the border between the United States and Mexico and what I got upset was those bars because to me I feel like the green grass present the pleased life but they got blocked by those bars and made me think of this whole intense political issue of immigration and as one of the immigrants who moved to New York from China, hearing those who got trapped because of this border made me think a lot about this issue, even though the video is just showing the moving landscape along with the bars, the meaning behind it was thought-provoking. Besides the short video, one art work which got my attention was various toys moving along the circle with a iphone set close to a side of the moving panel and show the view of how each object is clearly portrayed on the phone. I think that was very interesting because of the idea of getting various objects moving while catching up with many good angle shots using the phone and people could see different view of the toys with different perspectives.
