The use of exhibition space to create meaning

Viewing videos in a dark room which most of the videos in the Tate where based draws our eyes to the bright light on the screens which makes us shut out everything else around us plus if it’s a soundproof room it would be a quiet environments so you would only here the sounds of the video which would make you even more drawn to the video because it would be the only sound you could here. Like in PSI Girls, State of flux Two Correlated Rotations and Video A and Video P .The size of the screens the video is played on can also effect the way we view it like with Gonzalez: Felix 2001 the screen was huge so even though it wasn’t in a dark room like the others the size of the screen draws our attention still.
