About the Exhibition____________
MOVING MEDIA
A dynamic new exhibition series, Moving Media features emerging
artists working at the frontiers of digital video art. Since the early 20th Century artists such as Salvador Dali (1904-1989) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) have been fascinated with the moving image as art form. Although the lines are blurred between film and video, video art often eschews conventional narrative cinema. It emerged as a distinct medium in the 1960s when Nam June Paik (1932-2006) began to use the first portable Sony video recorders and Andy Warhol (1928-87) screened underground films shot in 8mm and 16mm formats in his Factory studio. Contemporary artists including the Swiss Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962) and American Sadie Benning (b. 1973) continue to challenge the conventions of video art, experimenting with new digital and conceptual approaches, animation, and installation techniques. Reflecting the DCCA's commitment to the latest uses of technology in art, Moving Media profiles today's living artists whose diverse approaches range from the political to the comedic.
