I think Mores McWreath's video was the most interesting. At first, I was kind of weirded out by all that was going on in the background, but as I continued watching, I couldn't help but gather some different interpretations.

The first thing I really noticed was the artist eating in the bottom left corner as the video played. The high-tech feel of the video behind him, as well as the actual presence of technology, especially at the beginning of the video, is juxtaposed with the image of him eating. I think this could be a representation of society's consumption of technology–how we have evolved to rely so heavily on it. 

Tying into the first thing, McWreath also included a quote about how video is becoming more and more popular. The quote questions the modern video artist; now that video is accessible to everyone, is it still possible that video art is video art? I think McWreath answers this question by simultaneously 'consuming' this technology while also creating a piece of video art–he even says something to the effect of "there is video art behind me" after showing the quote.
