Hernandez_Venderbeek Response

I have to agree with Vanderbeek's first notion that this relatively new technology of motion pictures is the new, revolutionizing art of our modern society - "the art form of our time." Is it the most important means for world communication? Perhaps, perhaps not. However, the common man may certainly be able to more closely relate to video or film, the motion inherently develops an emotional response within a viewer as the human brain creates connection between life experiences and the presentation. In contrast, the static nature of a print or painting requires a deeper level of investment that any individual may be reluctant to develop while viewing a piece. This is how it is understandable that Vanderbeek calls to action that it is imperative that "the entire level of world human understanding rise to a new human scale." Such wishful thinking, but perhaps one day we will indeed reach that level of understanding among us all. It seems Vanderbeek insists on a sort of cultural exchange, that too seems like it may aid in the pursuit towards world human communication.
