One artist I chose was Gabriel Orozco. His art was interesting as it tied a lot in to nature and specifically what he found in Nature. One of his pieces we discussed was "Asterisms" where he collected pieces he found from two places, a field and a beach. 

Orozco is an example of a global artist because his art is not limited to one place and is relatable to everyone. Even in the piece "Asterisms", the field was in New York and the beach was in Mexico. The piece is also not specific to any person or place because it is an exhibit consisting of many little pieces of plastic and other materials from the field as well as larger glass and plastic from the beach. He is also a digital artist because he is able to take photos of his work which are part of the exhibit

Chris Jordan is another artist who also looked at nature. He focused on pollution and its affect on animals. His big project was "Midway" which showed images and videos of albatross birds with their stomachs filled with plastic. 

Like Orozco, Jordan is creating art that is relevant to everyone. Pollution and plastic is a major problem for everyone. Jordan's use of videos and images make him a digital artist. Without the Internet and the use of digital tools, it would have been much more difficult for Jordan to share his work. His other series called "Running the Numbers," he calls conceptual art which he says makes global issues more relatable on a personal level.
