Response to Video Artist: Vito Acconci

Vito Acconci's videos were very dialogue heavy. I didn't entirely understand why he made videos if much of the imagery he provides the viewer comes from his dialogue. He was very poetic in how he told a story such as in Undertones where he sat across a table from the viewer and told a story, using repetition to transition from section to section. I just felt his work fit more closely with poetry and spoken word rather than video art.
