Field Trip to Balboa Park

Today I found one of the most brilliant pieces of art in history. It's an active piece and a visual piece at the same time. It's a house that you can go inside of, but it's a TV screen on the inside and the outside. The house acts like a screen for a video that keeps repeating. It's a video of these 4 people painting. They keep painting over each other's stuff and they keep making new paintings. The coolest thing about it, is you can go inside it and you can see the shadows of the people outside. You can make shadow puppets with the house. My partner would stay inside the house and I would walk around and do shadow puppet shows. It was a really fun piece of artwork. I made a shadow puppet show of me having a face off with another person like in one of the cowboy movies. I think people should go and see it.
