 I found how some of the artists used past life experiences such as trauma to aid in their creative endeavors fascinating. The first artist expressed how her home life had affected her work, and showed off some video techniques using motion capture. She also caught various computer graphics in plexi glass in a unique display of colors. The second used digital models of himself in his works, as well as various other people, and used masochistic humiliation to fuel some of his pieces. He had been influenced by video games growing up, particularly final fantasy 7, a fantastical game with science fiction and fantasy elements, and this shows in his art when it comes to some of the more zany and out there works of his. He went so far as to incorporate certain religious iconography, the doubting Thomas, in his work. The stuff shown was fascinating to look at as a visual spectacle.
