Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) hosts an online streaming program of a selection of Anthony Ramos’s video-performances circa 1972-1975, a fertile period for the artist then based in Los Angeles. Ramos’s interest in time and duration stems in part from his long friendship with Allan Kaprow, with whom he studied and worked under as a teaching assistant, and who housed him following his imprisonment for conscientious objection. Ramos met Kaprow while a student at the Southern Illinois University and participated in a handful of the artist’s iconic “happenings,” including the ambitious 1967 event Fluids,, which involved the construction of several intricate igloos across Pasadena. He was later part of a coterie of West coast figures inspired by Kaprow to mount their own interventions—Ramos often staged prankish, ephemeral art events with fellow artists Joe Ray and Lowell Darling, who appear in the two plastic bag videos. A key theme for Ramos is tension and discomfort: his fatigue during Balloon Nose Blow-Up (1972), the terror of confinement in Plastic Bag Tie-Up (1972) and Water Plastic Bag (1973), and the gluttony and racial stereotype in Watermelon Heaven (1972). His own body often becomes a vector in the work: his use of body paint in State of the Union (1973), the mannequin appendages and nudity in Identity (1973), and the experiment in race-bending made in conjunction with his then-wife Ann Ramos in the two-channel installation Black and White (1975). Available through April 31.

This online selection of videos by Darrin Martin stems from the artist’s research seeking disability representation in EAI’s collection—both intentional and unintentional. The titles span early conceptual video to contemporary performance, engaging themes of perceptual difference, semiotic play, and embodiment, and present an array of strategies for access. In Shape of a Right Statement, Wu Tsang re-performs text by the late disability rights activist Mel Baggs. Phyllis Baldino’s Absence is Present: MayJuneJuly and Absence is Present: Dead Nature in the Dark overlay handheld footage with a fuzzy, floating orb meant to represent a blindspot experienced by the artist following open heart surgery. Lawrence Andrews’ Birthday and Anal Denial explore the titular prompts through simultaneous on-screen text and spoken monologue. In John Baldessari’s The Meaning of Various News Photos to Ed Henderson, the artist dissects the semiotics of news media while prompting his interlocutor to verbally describe isolated newspaper clippings. Cecilia Vicuña’s Fire Over Water hauntingly addresses industrial climate disaster through a poetic rendering of the artist’s experience watching Gasland 2. Finally, Shana Moulton’s Whispering Pines 6 problematizes the incomplete promise of wellness culture to make its subjects feel whole. The videos are closed captioned. Baldessari and Moulton’s works are presented with open captions in a window-boxed format to minimize interference with the image. Baldino’s works are included with and without audio descriptions, which were written by EAI staff in collaboration with the artist. Available through April 28.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is thrilled to present a series of events spotlighting the extraordinary career of Anthony Ramos, among the earliest artists to use video as a tool for mass media critiques and cultural documentation, and to examine media presentations of “truth.” A significant but underrecognized figure in both East and West coast art scenes—he had been a close student of Allan Kaprow at CalArts and a peer of important video figures such as Nam June Paik and Juan Downey—Ramos produced a varied body of work, ranging from deliberately confrontational direct-camera performance to provocative essayistic compositions using appropriated material as a satirical counterpoint. Common themes for Ramos are incisive critiques of American nationalism, racial media representations, and oppressive power dynamics.

In 1967, Ramos served an eighteen-month prison sentence for his refusal to register for the Vietnam War draft, an act of conscientious objection with far-reaching resonance throughout the art that followed. On the occasion of Jimmy Carter’s 1977 declaration of amnesty for so-called “draft dodgers,” Ramos produced two major works drawing from his personal experience and the glib disconnect of political showboating. About Media (1977) documents, and deconstructs, Ramos's aired television interview by New York news reporter Gabe Pressman, revealing the construction of mainstream media's slick, obscuring veneer. Decent Men (1977/2013) is built around Ramos's powerful recounting of his prison stay, intercut with vintage cartoons that feature grotesque racial stereotypes alluding to America's long history of racial disenfranchisement through aggressive carceral strategies. Ramos began the work in 1977, but left it unfinished for nearly four decades, until he returned to EAI to finish the work in 2013.
Upon his release from prison, Ramos was invited by Kaprow to join CalArts’s inaugural class, where he produced a series of indelible performance tapes, including collaborations with Joe Ray and Lowell Darling. In one tape, Plastic Bag Tie-Up (1972), Ramos and Darling sealed themselves, blindfolded and bound, in clear body-sized bags; the video’s excruciating duration records their struggle to escape. One of the most unique aspects of Ramos’s career is its global scope, capturing significant instances of political struggle and social change across the world. He has traveled widely in Europe, Africa, China and the Middle East, and helped direct the video programming at the American Center in Paris, where he oversaw the television cabling of ten blocks of the city for the first time. He videotaped the end of Portugal's colonial rule of Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau, and Tehran during the 1980 hostage crisis. He completed a number of experimental travelogs, including Nor Was This All By Any Means (1978), a densely-layered collage shot in Gorée, Cape Verde, and Tanzania, and Mao Meets Muddy (1989), documenting his travels to Beijing with painter Frederick Brown in 1988, just before Tiananmen Square.
In the late 1980s, Ramos turned to painting as his primary medium, and has since produced a staggering output of vibrantly colored compositions, drawing from techniques of dot-painting and patterning, often produced on canvases constructed by the artist himself. Most recently, in the aftermath of the high-profile killings of Black citizens by law enforcement, among them George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Ramos’s paintings have once-again taken up his unabashed portrayal of America’s insidious racism. Ramos considers his contemporary work to be a two-dimensional extension of his videos’ cultural and political concerns.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture co-present this screening of Anthony Ramos’s Mao Meets Muddy (1989), considered by the artist to be his final video before shifting his emphasis to painting. In this rarely-screened video, Ramos captures a trip to Beijing made with his close friend and collaborator, painter Frederick J. Brown, who was mounting a retrospective of his work at the National Museum of China in 1988—considered to be the first solo exhibition of a Western artist in China post-Cultural Revolution. Throughout the footage, Ramos reflects on Sino-American relations, and documents cultural collisions including his and Brown’s interactions with local children and a Chinese man breakdancing in front of Brown’s portrait of Bessie Smith. Any air of jubilant possibility is undercut by the video’s setting of Tiananmen Square; in a postlude, Ramos videotapes himself tuning into the media coverage of the 1989 massacre the following year.
Ramos will be joined by artist and curator Bentley Brown, son of Frederick J. Brown, for a discussion on this video and Ramos and Frederick Brown’s long-standing collaboration. Ramos began documenting the painter’s process in the mid-’70s with Portrait of an Artist (1975), showing Brown in his 120 Wooster Street studio loft set to music by Anthony Braxton. Ramos was a part of a revolving cast of artists, poets, and musicians involved in Brown’s space, which regularly hosted gatherings and performances. Ramos continued to tape the painter’s practice even after his official retirement as a “video artist,” capturing the loft’s final performance in 1991 by Felipe Luciano, and Brown’s post-New York studio in Arizona.

Bentley Brown is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, doctoral candidate at The Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, and adjunct professor of Art History at Fordham University. Based in the Bronx, NY and Phoenix, AZ, Brown's research at the Institute of Fine Arts explores the pioneering role of Black artists and Black creative spaces within New York City’s contemporary art movements of the late 1960s through the mid-1980s. In his artistic practice, inspired by African American cultural production, abstract and figurative expressionist approaches to the artistic process and the desert landscape of his native Phoenix, Brown uses the mediums of canvas, found objects, photo-collage and film to to explore themes of Black identity, cosmology, and American interculturalism.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and DCTV co-present a special evening with Anthony Ramos, a significant but under recognized figure in video art history, who has produced a varied body of work ranging from confrontational direct-camera performance to provocative essayistic compositions using appropriated material as a satirical counterpoint. In these two interrelated videos, Ramos stages powerful mass media critiques to examine media representations of “truth.”

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and the Emily Harvey Foundation are pleased to present a weekend-long engagement celebrating the life and work of Jean Dupuy (1925-2021), a trailblazing figure in art and technology and a fundamental node connecting the fields of conceptual, performance, and video art in 1970s downtown New York.
Friday, April 7th
7 pm
Screening of DeeDee Halleck and Jean Dupuy's Self Portait, followed by conversation with Halleck, Barbara Moore, and Carlota Schoolman
RSVP here.
Saturday, April 8th to Sunday, April 9th
1 pm to 6 pm
Selected works by Dupuy on view
On the evening of Friday, April 7th, DeeDee Halleck will present a recent transfer of her and Dupuy’s Self Portrait (1974), which captures the duo making art and cooking tarts at his loft and studio at 405 East 13th Street. Following the screening, Halleck, Barbara Moore, and Carlota Schoolman will reflect on the artist’s activities and impact. On Saturday and Sunday, April 8 to 9 from 1 pm to 6 pm, a selection of Dupuy’s drawings, collages, and sculptural interventions either featured in the film or made around the same time as Self Portrait will be on display.
Originally trained as a painter in Paris, Dupuy disavowed his earliest medium by throwing his artworks into the Seine, and soon immersed himself in the city’s growing performance and sound poetry scenes, eventually relocating to New York in 1967. Within a year, the artist generated significant attention for his sculpture Cone Pyramid (Heart Beats Dust), a glass box outfitted with a stethoscope that vibrated a cloud of red particles to the rhythm of a viewer’s heartbeat. The piece won a competition held by Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) directed by Robert Rauschenberg and Billy Klüver, and was soon featured in the landmark exhibition The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age organized by Pontus Hultén at the Museum of Modern Art. Dupuy joined the Sonnabend Gallery, with whom he exhibited widely until his departure from the gallery in 1973.
From 1973 to 1979, Dupuy was a prolific organizer of group shows and collective happenings, engaging many of the key performers, musicians, and conceptual artists of the era with events organized at his loft, the Whitney Museum, the Kitchen and the Judson Church. Among these are the storied Soup and Tart (1974), a multimedia dinner party pairing home-cooked soup, bread, apple tarts and wine with two-minute performances by Yvonne Rainer, Charles Atlas, Philip Glass, Gordon Matta-Clark, Joan Jonas, Hannah Wilke, and many others; his video performances Chant A Capella (1977, with Davidson Gigliotti) and Artists Propaganda (1978, with Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn); and hosting a wedding and Fluxus cabaret celebrating the marriage of George Maciunas and Billie Hutching (1978). From 1976 to 1979, Dupuy presented many performance concerts at his Grommet Studio, ran in one of Maciunas’s artist co-ops in the loft that is now known as the Emily Harvey Foundation.
In the early ‘80s, Dupuy relocated to Pierrefeu, a commune in southeastern France. He again shifted his focus to anagram and wordplay-based art, publishing over twenty books on the subject and exhibiting across Europe and the United States until his death in April 2021.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to present a screening and discussion lead by artist and educator Darrin Martin, whose video, performance, and print-based installations have considered the synesthetic qualities of perception, and notions of accessibility through the use of tactility, sonic analogies, and audio descriptions.
Beginning in 2010, Martin started to explore EAI’s collection with two goals in mind: to search for disability representation, and in pursuit of experimental video work that considers disability access at its inception—even if it might not have been the impetus for its making. As an extension of this project, Martin has assembled a program of works by six artists whose practices span from early conceptual video to contemporary performance, each uniquely engaging the themes of perceptual difference, semiotic play, and embodiment. This event will feature open captioning and live ASL interpretation. A free, closed-captioned online streaming version of this event will be available in mid-April.
Martin writes: “The works in (Mis)Reading the Image are never what they appear to be at face value and/or have found new perspectives within and against each other in time. Their relationship to language, text, and image is built upon shifts in context whether through the performative work of Wu Tsang embodying the words of a late autism rights activist Mel Baggs, an attempt to audio describe images removed from newspaper clippings in John Baldessari’s The Meaning of Various News Photos to Ed Henderson, or in the stuttering poetic plea of Cecilia Vicuña’s emotional summary of a film that rings the alarm over specific man-made environmental catastrophes. Woven throughout the program are selections from Phyllis Baldino’s Absence is Present which manifests her experience with a blind spot and two works from Lawrence Andrews’ Selections from the Library, which take the approach of building an image within the viewer using text and sound that resists simple approaches to reification. Finally, Shana Moulton’s Whispering Pines 6 places the viewer as witness to the trajectory of her alter ego Cynthia’s attempt to find wholeness in a world of image fragmentation and missing pieces.
Darrin Martin creates videos and installations that engage qualities of perception mediated through the lens of both obsolete and new technologies. His latest projects consider ways in which meaning is layered and performative using sonic analogies and audio descriptions. Through collaborations with artist Torsten Zenas Burns, they build speculative fictions around re-imagined educational practices and dystopian cosplay paradigms. Martin is a Professor in the Art and Art History Department at University California, Davis.

In this collection of short works, which takes its name from Ulysses Jenkins's Sobriety, artists contend with technology’s travails and possibilities, exploring how digital devices interact with the corporeal world. Cecelia Condit’s AI and I considers the artist’s relationship to Amazon’s Alexa. Jayson Musson’s Blockedt! pitches a functionless “anti-social social networking” app, co-developed with Buzzfeed founder Jonah Peretti for Rhizome’s Seven on Seven. Shelly Silver’s Score for Joanna Kotze, described by the artist as a “dance film that primarily leaves us in the dark,” flickers through photographs of flowers, buildings, and debris, and C. Spencer Yeh’s Three Waves collages close-up video and recordings from the artist’s mouth. LoVid’s Three Moons compiles footage of weeds, wild flora, and friends in and around Long Island taken with a custom-built temporospatial camera, and Wu Tsang’s iPhone-shot Girl Talk captures poet and scholar Fred Moten letting loose to Josiah Wise’s cover of the eponymous 1965 jazz standard.

Following the mass adoption of cable TV and home video recording technology in the early ‘80s, many artists had access to a new arsenal of strategies for intervening directly with televised media. Public broadcast carved out a space for experimentation, a sensibility showcased in such series as Jaime Davidovich’s The Live! Show (1979-84) and Robert Beck’s The Space Program (1985-86), both aired on the Manhattan Cable Network. The advent of specialized networks also presented new opportunities to mingle artists’ media with “normal” televised content: MTV, with their hip youth audience in mind, invited a number of artists to create culture-jamming interstitials in between music videos including video art pioneer Dara Birnbaum, and initiatives such as TRANS-VOICES commissioned artists including Birnbaum, Bruce and Norman Yonemoto, Philip Mallory Jones, and Tom Kalin to produce 60-second spots for American and French broadcast. As the choices on the TV remote became more vast, so too did an overwhelming sense of content glut and advertising onslaught. New consumer video formats like VHS and Betamax gave a new generation of artists the license to remix and deconstruct these images, a practice exemplified by works such as Cable Xcess (1996), a faux-infomercial by Kristin Lucas that warns of the long-term consequences of exposure to electromagnetic fields, and No Sell Out... or i wnt 2 b th ultimate commodity/ machine (Malcolm X Pt. 2) (1995), a stunning MTV-style indictment of consumerism and racial capitalism by “art-band” X-PRZ.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and Wendy's Subway are pleased to co-present a screening of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's video works at Spectacle Theater, featured alongside works by artists Sujin Lee and Jesse Chun. Grappling with the porosity of language, historicity, geopolitics and more, Cha, Chun, and Lee’s works explore these issues with dexterity and playfulness. Between the subtle and obvious gestures towards Cha in both Chun and Lee’s works, the screening will be an exciting opportunity for audiences to view Cha’s work in community, and in conjunction with artists working in and along her lineage.
This event is part of Wendy's Subway's series The Quick and the Dead, a yearlong, multi-phase project that bridges the life, work, and legacy of a deceased writer to those of contemporary practitioners. In its third year, the program focuses on Korean American artist Cha (1951–1982), and considers her profound interventions in film and video, historiography, language and translation, and autobiographical writing. Cha’s exploration of the porousness between artistic mediums leaves indelible marks on contemporary art, especially film and video.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and NYU Center for Disability Studies are thrilled to co-present a roundtable discussion on relevant histories, practices, and standards for audiovisual accessibility in moving image art distribution. The panel will include distributor Ben Cook of LUX (London, UK), writer Louise Hickman, artist Darrin Martin, and Mara Mills (NYU CDS).
This program takes its cue from Emily Watlington’s research and accompanying lecture, “The Radical Accessibility of Video Art (For Hearing People),” presented by LUX in 2020. Participants will address how use of the term “access” to describe the circulation of moving image art, especially by distributors, has not fully considered accessibility—in particular for audiences with disabilities. The conversation will look forward, building speculative and material strategies for a sustainable practice of accessibility in moving image distribution through active captioning, subtitling, and engagement with disabled artists, among other approaches. The event coincides with the upcoming release of Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU Press), edited by Mara Mills (NYU CDS) and Rebecca Sanchez.
Benjamin Cook is the founder director of LUX and LUX Scotland, the UK agencies for the support and promotion of artists’ working with the moving image, and represents Europe’s largest collection of film and video works by visual artists. He has been professionally involved in the visual arts and independent film sector in the UK for the past 25 years as a curator, archivist, producer, writer and teacher.
Louise Hickman is a research associate at the Minderoo Centre of Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge. Previously, she was at the London School of Economics and the Ada Lovelace Institute’s JUST-AI Network on Data and AI Ethics. Her research draws on critical disability studies, feminist labor studies, and science and technology studies to examine the historical conditions of access work. She holds a PhD in Communication from the University of California, San Diego, and is currently working on a book manuscript tentatively titled “Crip AI: The Automation of Access.”
Darrin Martin creates videos and installations that engage qualities of perception mediated through the lens of both obsolete and new technologies. His latest projects consider ways in which meaning is layered and performative using sonic analogies and audio descriptions. Through collaborations with artist Torsten Zenas Burns, they build speculative fictions around re-imagined educational practices and dystopian cosplay paradigms. Martin is a Professor in the Art and Art History Department at University California, Davis.
Mara Mills is Associate Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. She is a co-founder and editorial board member for the journal Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. Most recently, she is the co-editor of Testing Hearing: The Making of Modern Aurality (Oxford, 2020) and Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU Press, 2023). With Jonathan Sterne, she is writing a book on the history of time-stretching. She is co-founder and co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies, where she is currently co-directing the NSF-funded project How to be Disabled in a Pandemic.
The NYU Center for Disability Studies (CDS) promotes disability scholarship, artistry, and activism through: public events, a monthly seminar, an undergraduate Disability Studies Minor and Disability Student Union, and collaborations with other arts and academic centers nationally and internationally. The Center is currently co-directed by Faye Ginsburg (Anthropology/Faculty of Arts & Sciences) and Mara Mills (Media, Culture, and Communication/Steinhardt).

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and The Kitchen recently celebrated their 50th anniversaries. Rebecca Cleman, EAI’s Director, and Alison Burstein, Curator at The Kitchen, reflect on their shared organizational histories rooted in an alternative arts ecology and how it informs their institutional roles in the present. The conversation is moderated by Alex Klein, Dorothy and Stephen R. Weber (CHE’60) Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.
The event also celebrates the release of the publication Broadcasting: EAI at ICA, now available for pre-order. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and Triple Canopy are pleased to co-present First World Order, a screening of works by Ilana Harris-Babou and Ulysses Jenkins followed by a discussion between Harris-Babou and writer Yasmina Price. The event will be in-person at 264 Canal Street, as well as livestreamed online and viewable after the fact. It will be accompanied by an online program of works by Harris-Babou, Jenkins, Philip Mallory Jones (whose video First World Order inspired this project's title), and Anthony Ramos, available at EAI's website.
The herbalist Alfredo Bowman, popularly known as Dr. Sebi, often asked, “What were we eating before we were taken from Africa, before there was an invasion by the man from Europe?” Dr. Sebi’s answer came in the form of a diet that eschewed “Caucasian food” and emphasized fruits, vegetables, and pulses, which he promoted as complementing “the African gene structure.” Drawing on Black nationalist movements as well as Hippocrates and the Old Testament, the quietly charismatic (and unlicensed) practitioner traced all diseases afflicting Black people to their displacement from Africa through the transatlantic slave trade. Before dying in 2016, he had attracted a global following that included Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Michael Jackson, and Nipsey Hussle, as well as numerous charges of fraud for claiming that his treatments cured illnesses as various as herpes, HIV, and diabetes. In her video Leaf of Life (2022), the artist Ilana Harris-Babou considers Dr. Sebi’s amalgamation of tradition, myth, and persona—which enabled him to advance an identity rooted in the bodies of Black people around the world—and asks how distrust of American institutions contributes to the appeal of his message.
Harris-Babou's work will be presented alongside two selections from Ulysses Jenkins's The Video Griots Trilogy, a series of video meditations on history and culture. In Self-Divination, the artist speaks poetically about the origins and realities of the African diaspora, and Mutual Native Duplex is a video essay on the mutual alliances between Native and African Americans which celebrates the "neo-American model" of inter-cultural cooperation that grew out of these encounters.
Following the screening, Harris-Babou will be joined by Yasmina Price to discuss the political concerns and representational strategies expressed in the works. They’ll ask how, today, artists are envisioning forms of belonging that defy the logic of time and space, and that turn to tradition without succumbing to nostalgia—or eliding the particular conditions and historical experiences that define diasporic populations.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and the CUNY Graduate Center’s Art and Science Connect are pleased to co-present a pair of panels inspired by the legacy of the Computer Art Festivals (1973-1975), alongside an online presentation of video works, programs, and materials from the event’s three year history. In the first panel, organizers and artists from the initial festivals will discuss the original impetus for the project, the nature of computer art at the time, and the event’s resonances today. In the second, contemporary digital art practitioners and institutional voices will consider the role of institutions in producing and shaping art made with computers.
At the time of the Computer Art Festivals in the 1970s, art made with computers was largely the domain of institutions. From university and private research laboratories to alternative arts organizations and galleries, institutions were necessary to steward expensive equipment, facilitate information exchange, and build context for emerging forms. In the intervening decades, computer art (now referred to as digital art) has transformed considerably alongside the rapid development of technology and digital culture, and drastic shifts in public and private funding structures. With the advent of personal computing and ostensibly decentralized distribution, the role of such institutions in producing and shaping the context of art made with computers has been questioned and reconfigured. This conversation will engage contemporary artists and institutional voices to consider the role of institutions in digital art today. Has technology made such institutions redundant, or more critical than ever? What roles might institutions play in supporting emerging digital practices, now and in the future?
This panel will include Rebecca Cleman, Auriea Harvey, Kelani Nichole, Lumi Tan, and Addie Wagenknecht, moderated by curator Tina Rivers Ryan. RSVP here. Image: installation shot of Addie Wagenknecht, XXXX.XXX, 2014, photograph by John Berens.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to partner with Anthology Film Archives to host artist Bruce Yonemoto for a retrospective of the video work he and his brother Norman Yonemoto have created, both together and separately, since the mid-1970s. Working largely collaboratively until Norman’s death in 2014, the Yonemotos hold a unique place in the history of avant-garde cinema and video art. Their work can be viewed through many different prisms: proudly Queer and committed to conveying the perspective and history of Asian-American (specifically, Japanese-American) culture, their films, videos, and installations also reflect a distinctively West Coast mentality, steeped in the radiance (and the shadows) of Hollywood’s glamorous myths, illusions, and ideologies.
Raised in Santa Clara, California, in the immediate postwar years, with their mother’s experience in the Japanese-American concentration camps informing their upbringing, the brothers both embraced careers in visual culture early on: Norman attended film school at UCLA and the American Film Institute, while Bruce studied art at UC Berkeley, the Sokei Bijitsu Gakkō in Tokyo, and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Despite these initially separate paths – and after Norman cut his filmmaking teeth making both agit-prop shorts and the adult film Brothers – they almost immediately embarked on a collaborative career, beginning with the X-rated feature Garage Sale (1976). Soon after, they began a trilogy of video works known as the “Soap Opera Series” – a title that reflected their ongoing preoccupation with the conventions of television soap opera in particular and the codes and forms of mass media in general.
The Yonemotos’ extraordinary video works of the 1980s and 90s are irreverent, ironic, gleefully stylized, and yet closely attuned to the ways in which the grammar and iconography of television and industrial cinema shape modern life. Collaborating with a gloriously eclectic array of artists and performers including Mike Kelley, Tony Oursler, Spalding Gray, Jeffrey Vallance, Patricia Arquette, Ron Vawter, Mary Woronov, and Michael Smith, their body of work represents a fascinating nexus of figures, themes, and ideas.
Following Norman’s death in 2014, Bruce continued making single-channel video pieces, in addition to his photographs, installations, and sculptural works. This comprehensive retrospective will encompass almost all of the Yonemotos’ collaborative works, as well as Norman’s Second Campaign and Brothers, and a selection of the solo works Bruce has created since the turn of the millennium.
Bruce Yonemoto will appear in person for the majority of the screenings, with other special guests to be announced.

In the second, contemporary digital art practitioners and institutional voices will consider the role of institutions in producing and shaping art made with computers.
First organized by Dimitri Devyatkin in 1973, the Computer Art Festivals were an instrumental forum for the convergence of art and computing technology at a formative moment in the histories of computer art. Within the short span of their three years -- taking place at The Kitchen in 1973 and '74 before relocating to the CUNY Graduate Center in 1975 -- the festivals brought together over 100 different artists, showcasing prescient experiments with computers from a wide array of disciplines, including music, film, video, and graphic sculpture. In this conversation with the festival’s early organizers and participants, EAI and the CUNY Graduate Center will consider computer art’s early history and its entanglement with the multidisciplinary spirit of intermedia art, as well as the role of institutions including public funding structures, arts organizations, and universities in cultivating a rich context and support network for emerging media art.
This panel assembles original participants including Dimitri Devyatkin, Charles Dodge, Louise Etra, and Alison Knowles with Joshua Selman, moderated by curator Michelle Kuo. RSVP for the panel here.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to partner with Metrograph to present a series of programs highlighting our catalogue and its essential role in the history of artists’ moving image work. This program coincides with our ongoing celebration of EAI's 50th anniversary.
Formed in 1994, Bernadette Corporation is a multi-hyphenate, international, and anonymous art collective whose feverish output resists pat categorization. The group has spanned a wide range of cultural production including nightlife promotion, fashion, the magazine Made In USA, the collectively-authored novel Reena Spaulings (Semiotext(e), 2005), gallery art, and the medium of publicity itself. This evening pairs two key video works, which embody their spirit of détournement and defiant self-effacement: Hell Frozen Over (2000), described by the group as "a fashion film about the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé and the color white,” and Get Rid of Yourself (2002), an “anti-documentary” fusing footage of the G8 summit protests in Genoa, Italy with appearances by actress Chloë Sevigny and artist-philosopher Werner von Delmont.
Introduced by Lizzi Bougatsos.
