TECHNIQUES OF TODAY
Screening and lecture,
March 2006, MIACA/ Bank Art Yokohama and Tokyo
Artists include Seth Price, Cory Arcangel, Paper Rad, Beige Records, Michael Bell-Smith
The screening included young artists interpreting and mimicking through their choices of media and distribution. Conscious usage of technology, distribution channels, knowledge enabling and participation are major points in their production, inside or outside the art scene. The artists were talked about in the lecture in relation to issues of cultural production and distribution of information, and investigations of cultures generated and re-circulated by mass media technologies and information systems, through which they are questioning the production and dissemination of art and meaning itself.
