1) I think it's extremely interesting how an artist like Alison Jackson can have such an almost scientific approach to her artworks. She looks at society's absurd curiosity of celebrities much like a sociologist would and is able to gather results and findings that could be used as evidence in a similar manner. Contemporary can also create a great deal of influence on society without society being fully aware of it, such as the case of her non-truth advertising. In her non-truth advertisement she was able to change people perception of reality when it came to the celebrity she faked since the people trust mass media so dearly.

With a video we see even more, more angles and more people often times. We also would be more likely to trust the video source since it simply 'feels natural.' if the impostor acted, talked, and walked like the real person one would have to think it must be the person it is depicting.
