[askuno-:196] Intermedia Art, February 2010

Steina and Woody Vasulka: Latent Perceptions Saturday 20 February 2010, 19.30 Tate Modern, Starr Auditorium £5 (£4 concession), booking recommended Book tickets online or call 020 7887 8888   Major figures in the history of video art and electronic media, Steina and Woody Vasulka have contributed enormously to the evolution of digital aesthetics through a prolific body of work exploring the malleability of vision, the manipulation of electronic energy and the interrelation of sound and image. Their early collaborative efforts, produced from 1970 - 74, were primarily focussed on phenomenological explorations that deconstructed the materiality of video and audio signals. In the mid 70s they collaborated with Geoffry Schier to build the first real-time, computer-controlled video processor. Since then, their work has expanded to include video installations with robotic sculptural elements and live interactive performance. This programme will highlight single-channel video works created in the 1970s in conjunction with a presentation by the artists about their current work, in the online platform of Second Life. Please note that this programme is not suitable for people sensitive to flashing images.
