Art video response

I was by far the most influenced by James Turrel. I felt that out of all the artists/architects in the video, he was the only taking a risk by creating something that most people might not understand or appreciate. I didn't really understand the value or purpose of this piece of architecture myself, but he saw and still sees a vision of what it could to make people's lives a little more enjoyable. Most artist's work isn't really appreciated until many years after it is created; and I think this piece may be the same case. (if it is ever completed)
