A Man and His Dog

A Man and His Dog was really interesting to watch. I really enjoyed the composition of the lines and their ever-changing nature. The mere fact that it was only a moving sketch made the figures that appeared for half-seconds that much more enjoyable. You were constantly looking for something recognizable. At one point there was a sort of Aztec temple, but it was then obscured by the frame. As was mentioned in the reading, Breer simply used the title to be somewhat ironical, and I appreciate that. Who says that a video must have a story line? "A Man and His Dog Out for Air" seems like a harmless thing that can be so easily given a cohesive storyline, but in searching for it in a mess of lines, you realize how attached you've become to plot and not art.
