the second artist i have chosen is Knut Mork Skagen who is a politcaly conciouse norwegian artist. though quite a bit of this work is technology based it manages to mantain a scence of humanity . in alls well with the norwegians the artist places a huge video screen on a wall oposite the entrance to the gallery as the screen is showing a real time video of the gallerys entrance but un like a mirror this image of the viewer is speraticly manipulated. somtimes you find your face replaced by red white or blue blobs and at times people who are not actualy present, thereby making the viewer both question the safty of thiere surroundings and there perception of it. in another piece by knut the viewer is bombarded by loud and abrasive sound as they enter the galery when they step into the mane viewing area of the gallery they find they have been tracked by cameras while they were entering, on a huge screen in front of them is images footage of themselves with frames missing so that they move in strange an disjointed ways they see the grimaces that they made in reaction to the noise and across thiere face scrolls.
How would you like to be with this person for the rest of your life

Good. You started with a thesis/claim: "though quite a bit of this work is technology based it manages to mantain a scence of humanity" then used description and interpretation to argue/back up your thesis.
