This particular piece, entitled " Good Boy Bad Boy " by Bruce Nauman, used two monitors showing video as opposed to just one, giving a unique feel to the viewer. To me in particular it felt more engaging and a little confusing at times.

In this work two monitors are placed at head height, so that the performers stare out directly at the viewer. Two professional actors recite the same series of one hundred phrases, beginning in a flat tone but becoming more emotional. Because they are talking at different speeds, the actors fall out of step with each other, and the continuously looped videos become out of sequence. Many of the statements imply moral judgements which, through repetition, seem increasingly threatening.
Though this may not be what I was ultimately aiming for, content wise. I like the use of having two monitors instead of one and would definitely be something I would be interested in achieving for displaying my FMP.[Ref: From The Display Caption, 2008]
