Barbara London and the artist group LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) show how art practice has come to defy categorization in the context of our exhibition Revisions: Zen for Film. London reveals artist Nam June Paik’s early cross-platform dematerialized art activities that converged music, visual art, performance, and the electronic image. LoVid focuses on the process of decay and obsolescence in light of development of technology and within the process of artistic practice. Gain a clearer understanding of how Paik’s technical, conceptual, and aesthetic brilliance inspire later artists who made these issues central to their work.
