MediaScope
October 20 and 27, 2003

Dedicated to experimentation with cinematic form and content, MediaScope presents emerging and recognized artists who discuss their work with the audience. The program explores filmmaking, videomaking, 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, Department of Film and Media.
