Mary Lucier
Mary Lucier is an American video artist who is known for her focus on video installation since 1973. Her mixed media video works explore themes of landscape as a metaphor for loss and regeneration. This can be seen in her works such as Dawn Burn, Ohio at Giverny and Wilderness. I chose to look into Lucier because I related to her work in terms of using landscape as a metaphor. Landscapes to me symbolise my ideal freedom where I can be truly alone and at peace, away from the constraints from society.

Ai Weiwei
Ai Weiwei is one of China's famous artists who is known as an activist, architect, curator and filmmaker. He is also knows for his open views and criticism of the Chinese government. I chose to look into Weiwei because his work focus on his environment as well as China's political issues which is something I am interested in exploring in the future. I also find his work rather inspiring and makes me want to share my voice with those who cant be heard.

Pipilotti Rist
Pipilotti Rist is a Swiss visual artist who is known for creating experimental video art and installation art. Her work is described as surreal, intimate, abstract art and is often categorised as feminist art. Her work is multi-sensory, and includes overlapping imagery that is highly saturated with colour. . My current video work is abstracted by fractured light and colours which reminded me of Pipilotti’s video art.
