Art 21 Krzysztof Wodiczko/Laylah Ali "power"

I watched the videos of these two artist and they are very different. Ali finds her inspiration or mission in heer community and draws from her child hood love of superheroes. Her work with the cartoon like skinny superheroes is interesting but plain and simple in my eyes. I'm sure that's whats she is going for. She seemed to get very anal about her colors and I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Some people work differently than others. I did think Wodiczko's exhibition on the side of buildings was very cool. Just walking up to a special piece of architecture that has a human face talking is pretty cool. It reminded me of the wizard of oz. He is very serious about his work and I watched a little about his peace project and understand where his inspirations come from. Both the artist used art as "power" to draw attention to matters which they feel strongly.
