I was researching video artists, when I came across joan healy. although she is more of a performance artists, I found her work very interesting, and decided to share. In many of joan's performances she uses parts of her body to simulate the tasks of machines.
One piece of hers that specifically stuck out to me was her installation, "Meat Market". In this installation, a piece of meat jerks back and forth and "dances" when activated by sound -whistling. It's pretty funny. There is another performance where she transforms her hair into a music instrument. A lot of her work is very strange, but nonetheless very interesting.
