    My video response is on "The Incredulity of Jacolby Satterwhite" by the New York Close Up. I enjoyed Satterwhite's emphasis on human emotion and his attempt to capture raw human emotion through augmented reality and virtual reality. I was inspired by his story of going through cancer at a young age and playing video games to help Satterwhite cope with his treatment. I also have an inclination for his relationship with his mother and her music and his work in capturing his mother's music and choreography into his animations and 3D art-instillations. Satterwhite also stated that, "Art became a form of escapism for me to reroute my personal traumas. But now I think I’m trying to pursue something more present… and trying to get to the core of who I am.” I relate heavily with Satterwhite that art is also an escapism for me and the reaction I get from the audience of my art is the exact reason I choose to continue making art.
