The first thing I thought of when I saw her video work was Andy Warhol. Maybe it was the grid concept, or maybe it was the immediately understandable reference to popular culture, but I could picture Warhol's work resembling this if he had branched into video art and music (just without vibrant, bold colors).
I also enjoy the humor in her work. Throughout it all, you are able to laugh and giggle, which in today's art world is rare. This work can be instantly related to everyone, everywhere, in everytime in which music was easily distributed. Unless you have no access to a radio, you can't deny that you've jammed to some hits at one time or another. This work, although strongest in reference to timeless musicians like Madonna and Michael Jackson, can be applied to any album. She could do one on Metallic and one of Tupac if she wanted.
