Pause brings together Cokes' inquiries into issues of cultural identity and the codes of pop music. Exploring the formal features of contemporary electronic music in relation to African Diaspora cultural forms, Cokes appropriates a popular, Internet-disseminated musical "mash-up" to suggest that "electronica and Black cultures both critique Western ideas of material progress and temporal development through ruptures, accidents, and repetitions."
With this 1985 piece performed by Othervisions Studio, Ulysses Jenkins pays tribute to the late Egyptian President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated in 1981 after he negotiated a truce with Israel during the Camp David Accords. In the video, Jenkins, alongside Harry...
Peggy and Fred in Kansas is one of the earliest installments in Thornton's Peggy and Fred in Hell series. We are introduced to the post-apocalyptic room where the children, "raised on television," act and re-enact a disjointed play on media narratives. Peggy and Fred channel their isolation like open radios, as if boredom were the frequency from which media is transmitted.
Part of a series of videos composed with LoVid's handmade analog synthesizer, this video and sound piece creates a hypnotic illusion of traveling into flickering geometries and simultaneously forces an awareness of the screen's planar materiality. Color and motion, in play with static figures in black and white, are set in explosive tension with one another in the final moments of the video, where the intensification of rhythm and a frenetic overlap of color and emptiness effect a totality of saturated incomprehensibility.

Comprised of newsreel out-takes purchased by Jacobs for $5 on Canal Street, Perfect Film depicts the news as "a daily tidal sweep and very little of what we learn can stick, and move us to take action towards the control of events. Anything may be revealed for a day and then it must clear the stage immediately."
Recorded at Video Free America in San Francisco, this work is a phenomenological inquiry into the audience/performer relationship and the notion of subjectivity/objectivity. Graham stands in front of a mirrored wall facing a seated audience; he describes the audience's movements and what they...

Petpourri spotlights the career of Marc Morrone, a pet store owner, TV host, and local celebrity from the artist’s hometown of Long Island, NY. The video is set in a speculative universe based on the controversies of Morrone’s 1996 public access television program, The Pet Shop with Marc Morrone (later titled Petkeeping with Marc Morrone). Petpourri creates a story of doubtful authenticity as the artist plays a deranged superfan who believes themself to be a genetic clone of Morrone. The demands of pet ownership and excessive media attention collide in an overexaggerated retelling of events as a bevy of side characters obsess over the exaggerated details of Morrone’s life. Petpourri was commissioned by The Shed for their 2023 Open Call exhibition.
