Whose Life Is it, Anyway? Bibliography

Why do I keep repeating myself? Bibliography

Essay for Felix, prompted by conversations with artist Joe McKay and philosopher Jan Zwicky, examines how integrated computer and electronic systems shape perception and behavior, citing examples such as mobile phones, pagers, bank machines, GPS and Canal Street electronics shops. The author links chip miniaturization, compression, programmable chips and the decline of solderable components to information hiding and surveillance; the text addresses cultural manifestations in television and consumption and frames video and computer animation as tools to simulate and critique mass-media and military structures, noting distribution via web pages and live webcasts.

Why Don't They Tell Stories Like They Used To? Bibliography

Essay traces the history and persistent critical opacity of video art from its emergence in the late 1960s through post-1975 developments; it situates early single-channel tapes and multi-channel installations in galleries and museums and surveys practitioners, institutions, broadcasts, and technologies including Nam June Paik, his Paik-Abe colorizer/synthesizer, three-quarter-inch color tape, image processing, WNET and independent video productions. The text links video practices to antecedents in literature, Dada, Surrealism, experimental film and Fluxus, and cites representative works such as Paik's Global Groove (1973), Bruce Connor's A Movie (1958), and Michael Snow's La Region Centrale.
