Barbara London “Video Visionaries: What’s Technology Got to Do with It?” Art Talk

NTT ICC Inter Communication Center
Finished
The New York-based art critic Barbara London, who worked as a curator at MoMA from 1973 through 2013, will speak on her 40 years of experience with new media art. London has spent four decades exploring the relationship between new media and art, holding exhibitions and compiling collections of video art since the medium’s dawning age in the early 1970s. The 1980s and 1990s— a particularly vibrant time for achievements by Japan and the rest of Asia with influences from new trends and creativity in the world of electronics— have been followed by internet-based projects from the 1990s onward. In 2013, London curated the MoMA exhibition “Soundings: A Contemporary Score,” which marked the museum-wide show of sound art. Welcoming London and the video artist Shuya Abe as a guest, this lecture considers how electronics technology blazes new paths in art.
