If you're into Wodiczko..

As part of my Exilic exam I did a case study on Wodiczko and his work utilising technology to open up communication between 'locals' and the other. Alien Staff for example, is quite literally a staff with a video camera on top which tells the story of the exile supporting it below. The material is edited so that accent/grammar issues are removed, ensuring a better telling and indirectly, more freedom of expression for the exile.
From a multimedia viewpoint debates such as live v mediated through the use of the video camera, or technology overtaking the body or rather substituting it to open poor communications are relevant. Also as part of our course we looked at Kaye's article on Wodiczko; this was about his projections onto buildings, but maybe some examples of Wodiczko's political subversions through technology in other areas may be useful.
In case anyone is interested, the book that I used for Exilic is by Alan Read, Architecturally Speaking, (but be warned: its only a three day loan..)

TIme-based

Hi everyone,

Heres an article on 'time-based media art' on the tate modern website. Its quite simplistic but I think useful if your tackling the exam question, surrounding 'new-media in art'.

enjoy
