Comparing two guest lecturers (Otto and Tal Rosner)

Resently at stockport, there has been many guest lectures and for this we were asked to post infomation about it. I intend to write some more about Otto and Tal Rosner, and hopefully this will better my general understanding of them.

Otto gave a very formulated lecture in that he spoke about how he self promoted himself first, then went on about his interests in shape and negative and positive space. Tal Rosner on the other hand also has strong interests in shape and patterning affects.

Tal uses recorded imagery and mashies up video footage to crate abstract movement that is similar to Otto in that he uses found imagery/hand made objects in a composition. Otto enjoys creation and development which i suppose all artist do in some way or another. Otto playfulness intellegence and spacial awareness, are clearly evedent in his work. Tal on the other hand uses the same methods but infrequently dose so, this is becauce he work with film and builds on an idea like in his doppleganger cilp.

In the financial market, Tal most likely gets paid more that Otto per commission, but overall Otto gets more over time as he gets more commissions. (proberly anyway)

Otto and Tal have similar personality thay both have drive to do tasks and have a clear understanding of what is both needed and wanted. Where thay differ, Otto has a hyper-attitude and Tal has a laid-back approach to work. Thats not to say Tal is lazy compared to Otto, not at all Tal works hard.

One of Tal's favourite things to do is duplicate video footage, Otto however enjoys playing with space so you can argue both are similar people at heart.

In my eyes Tal super cedes Otto with the finished out come. (even if Tal didnt respond to my email)Otto is good at what he dose but Tal has the edge. (I think anyways)Maybe im studying the wrong subject.
