A Line Describing a Cone

I like the line McCall described between Avant-Garde film makers and film artists. "The two worlds sometimes seem like a Crick and Watson's double helix, spiraling closely around each other without ever quite meeting".

As a New Media artist I consider myself to be more connected with film than other mediums, but the question of "is it art?" always seems to be of concern. Is it art if it's a music video? What about a commercial? Many people would say no, I say yes.

The youtube documentation of A Line Describing a Cone makes McCall's written description of his work more understandable. Especially in that he gave a lot of credit to those who viewed his pieces and he described his works as an individual experience that is different for everyone. In this clip on youtube you can listen to the viewers conversations and see how they are experiencing the piece uniquely.
