IS THIS THING ON?




IS THIS THING ON? / BYOB
OPENING + BYOB
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4TH, 7:00-10:00

Exhibition:
November 5, 2011 — April 2012

Curated by Jordan Tate and Aaron Walker, this exhibition presents three distinct subsets of video art practice. Each one addresses specific concerns relative to the history and future of video art ranging from early portapack experiments to more recent explorations of internet culture and sculptural video installations. The first installment, Screen Test (Nov 5), traces the history of performance video, showcasing the changing role of technology and new media trends. The second, Quality Control (Dec 19), looks at process-based works and the role of video art in a broader, new media context. The final phase, New Forms (Feb 11), builds on the previous installations to consider the future of combined media works and challenge popular assumptions of both the form and function of contemporary video art.

BYOB: Bring Your Own Beamer, a party with artists and their projectors. BYOB events are dynamic, collaborative experiences that take place all around the world. This event kicks off the three-phase video-based exhibition Is This Thing On?
