I am not so sure I know what I am doing anymore with this work Bibliography
Artist discusses a body of tapes and installations produced over many years, describing the work as a personal gift and as shadow work focused on life-and-death themes and near-death experience; they cite influences including Casteneda, Jung and Maya Deren and compare the marginalization of their work to poetry subsumed by mass culture. The artist reports relative success alongside chronic financial prostration and requests a yearlong loan of a sophisticated non-linear edit suite from a corporation to finish about six otherwise stillborn works; they also invoke the Dalai Lama and name Frank Zappa as someone who should be brought back.
I Model; You Take My Picture Bibliography
A theoretical reflection on modelling and photography arguing that representation retains a residue of organism and that the model’s body mediates power, sexuality and exchange between model and photographer; the essay examines visibility, abjection, commodification, light, shutter and camera in the production of images. The author contrasts photographic and painterly posing, invokes shamanic and erotic imaginaries, and notes accompanying computer illustrations comprising four stages of a necessarily incomplete computer portrait of a mathematical function.

Landscape: Mediated Views Bibliography
Landscape: Mediated Views is an exhibition exploring landscape as a cultural construct and as mediated by imaging technologies; it cites Simon Schama and the 18th-century Claude glass and traces a shift from traditional painting to portable black-and-white video in the late 1960s and onward to contemporary digital technologies. The artists’ tapes document geographic, geological, cultural, narrative, interior and policy-related landscapes and consider how portability, camera and non-camera video processes, image processing and media systems alter representation, land use and perceptions over the nearly thirty-year history of the medium.
Lessons for Localism from the Censorship Wars Bibliography
Essay argues that corporate domination of cultural forms accelerated in the 1980s and that this shift produced political conflicts over censorship and funding; it links the US withdrawal from UNESCO in 1984 and Jesse Helms's censorship campaign to a corporate project to privatize information and undermine the public sector. The author cites Herbert Schiller and Colleen Roach on telecommunications, privatization and transnational corporate interests; describes how postmodernity and multiculturalism fractured a four-way arts coalition and exposed arts organizations to financial warfare. The piece urges artists and regional/local movements to oppose transnational corporate consumerist hegemony while using corporate information networks; it predicts that video and data networking will transform the geographic basis of localism.

Media Independents Push for Access Bibliography
Independent video and film producers increased political organizing to gain programming and funding access; AIVF lobbied the Corporation for Public Broadcasting during its reorganization after the Carnegie Commission report and advocated a clear definition of independents and Program Fund set-asides. A dispute at WNET-Channel 13 over four peer-panel-selected films produced the Coalition To Make Public Television Public, meetings with president Jay Iselin on Feb. 11 and a protest at Lincoln Center on Feb. 24, and scrutiny of station finances. Independent feature filmmakers formed the Independent Feature Project (director Joy Pereths) after a New York Film Festival market (Sept. 1979); national organizing includes a Minnewaska meeting (April 1979) leading to a NAMAC conference in Boulder (May 29–31).
