The thing that I think that is most interesting about Andrew McCalls Line Describing a Cone, is that McCall started to think about the medium in a different way. He started to think about more than just the image on the film screen by light, but the light alone. I think that it is really interesting when artists take their medium and approach it in a unique manner. However despite the difference in his approach, he thinks about aspects of film that other more "traditional" film artists think of as well. Such as the space that his work will exist in. How long the piece will be. Who will be watching the piece, and will they be alone? What is the scale of the piece? What is the relationship between the viewers and the work? What kind of camera, projector, lens, and film will be used?
Basically, I think art is just a constant re-evaluation and about trying to find a place to live.
