Just look around this place

"Just look around this place" is a collection of seven short works in video that explore the transformation of social relations by the video medium. Using a diverse range of methods, including video-diary, home video, animation, direct address, and appropriation, the artists dissect their means of creative production and the mutations of social performance that their medium instigates. Video is an environment through which interaction is conditioned. In each work, we are beckoned to “just look around this place,” and recognize the (often hilarious) scenes of life performed for electronic media. Works and artists include “Let’s watch this guy at a coffee shop.” (Julie Perini), “HOME / VIDEO” (Michael Hession), “Video Terraform Dance Party” (Jeremy Bailey), “Pine Point” (Kenneth White), “Beauty Plus Pity” (Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby), “West Nile” (Tom Sherman), and “The Frills 3.0” (Jimmy DiPasquale). Curated by Kenneth White. Running time 1 hour. Free and open to the public.
