When I saw a few of this artist's videos posted on DVblog.org, I knew I had to include it here on Humor As Art. It goes without saying that timing, delivery, artistry, composition , and content are all well represented here which makes this performer's video work (whether|man Andrew Schneider) Humor As Art, or Art As Humor.
After you watch the above video watch all his videos at whether|man

Guy Ben-Ner's Moby Dick
The breath of fresh air Humor As Art as been hoping for. Guy Ben-Ner continues a long standing tradition of humor in art through personal examination. Moby Dick is a low-fi, creative remake of the literary masterpiece - shot in Ben-Ner's house and starring himself and his children in the leading roles. Using clever set design, as well as stop motion editing Ben-Ner creates a compelling piece of video art.
This kind of video art rolls back to the essence of the medium. In the day of "high definition" 24p filmic quality digital movie making, Moby Dick (and other pieces by Guy Ben-Ner) are amongst the visionary pioneer humorous video artists Wegman, Rosler, and Kuchar; this is the reason HUMOR as ART (this website) exists.
This videos exemplifies several properties in the humor spectrum: incongruity theory, disposition theory, frame shift theory, as well as relevance theory.
