Art 21 Video

A few things from the Art 21 video in class that stuck out to me where from Judy Pfaff.
The thing that really stood out to me in the case of Judy Pfaff was the amount of people she had working on her projects and as a result of that the overall size of her work. Watching her direct the whole installation made her seem more like of a producer of artwork instead of just an artist. Somewhat similar to Quincy Jones working on Michael Jackson's Thriller album. I doubt Mr. Jones played one single instrument on that record but I guarantee you he was standing over every musicians shoulder telling him/her exactly how to play whatever he was hearing in his head. That's how I envision Judy Pfaff and her process. I have to wonder though if you envision something so massive and you have to use so many different material and you have to enlist so many different people to help you complete your project how much does the completed project resemble exactly what you set out to create in the beginning?
