MediaScope
November 11 and 25, 2002
MediaScope is a new initiative devoted to artists and their recent media projects. Focusing on experimentation with form and content, the program features both emerging and recognized artists, who discuss their work with the audience. MediaScope is presented biweekly on Monday nights, and explores filmmaking and videomaking, as well as Web-based, installation, and digital art practices.
Organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator; Jytte Jensen, Associate Curator; Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator; Barbara London, Associate Curator; and Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator.
Media artist Leah Gilliam uses a range of film, video, computer,
and installation forms to examine how knowledge is produced and
coded. In Agenda for a Landscape (2002), the artist imagines
the Martian landscape by manipulating and adding to images collected
by the Sojourner Rover robot on its 1997 Pathfinder mission. She
discusses the work's relationship to earlier notable projects, such
as Apeshit (1999) and Sapphire and the Slave Girl
(1995). Artist present. Program approx. 90 min.
Guy Richards Smit stars in his sardonic video rock-operas and music-video
installations: in the Ballad of Bad Orpheus (2000), he is
a randy sailor on port leave; in Passerby (2002), he is the
loner going from opening parties to stays in the hospital. Smit
has shown at Team (New York), Nylon (London), the Queens Museum
of Art, Roebling Hall, and the Havana Biennial. He lives and works
in New York. Artist present. Program approx. 90 min.
