Video Art?

Hi all,

I was messing about on youtube earlier and came across a few videos by this guy called Lasse Gjertsen. He seems to have a lot of similarities with Martin Arnold in the fact that he takes video footage and edits it in order to make a new art piece (although Arnold seems to use found footage that already exists as its own separate entity) and thought that I'd put one of his videos up on here for discussion. He also has a video of himself beatboxing which is in a similar style and worth looking at. What does everyone think of this? Do you think that we can draw comparisons with some of the artists that we have looked at in seminars?
