Artist collectives Beige and Radical Software Group have joined forces to release this DVD, which collects examples of the nearly-forgotten genre of hacked video game intro-screens of the 1980s. In this quasi-anthropological context, the work amounts to a kind of electronic folk art: beautiful for its obsolete formal properties, as well as its testament to a lost subculture.
This anthology is a boxed set of eleven DVDs featuring newly-commissioned works by leading artists who are among the most important figures working in film, video, and digital imagery today: Francis Alys, David Claerbout, Douglas Gordon, Gary Hill, Pierre Huyghe, Joan Jonas, Isaac Julien, William Kentridge, Paul McCarthy, Pipilotti Rist, Anri Sala.
Founded by graduates of Lódz Film School in 1970, the Workshop of the Film Form helped define the moving image avant-garde in Poland in the 1970s. The Workshop was a pioneering and highly influential collective that promoted analytical experimentation in all modes of their multidisciplinary practices. Newly available, this DVD features seminal film works by key members of the Workshop, including Kazimierz Bendkowski, Wojciech Bruszewski, Pawel Kwiek, Józef Robakowski, and Ryszard Wasko.
This boxed set features five of Acconci's seminal audio works from the 1960s and '70s. These early conceptual audio works, on five CDs, were restored by EAI.
