The Documentary Scratch offered a truly insightful look on the history and nature of a music that I had previously been relatively ignorant about. It's interesting that so much information is to be had about a musical style that is still relatively quite young. The documentary did an excellent job of capturing the scratching phenomenon form then perspectives of many different artists and active participants.
Bill Viola's video art was truly astounding to me. There is something so pleasing about how he uses video to capture the essences of particular moments and actions, as well as more abstract audio and visual stimuli. He captures small things, like dripping water, a long hallway, a meeting between friends, and forces the viewer to pay attention to the smallest details and aspects of it.
