Blue Moon Over
Lawrence Weiner
2001, 5:14 min, color, sound

With Blue Moon Over, Weiner extends his text-based works into a digital realm, positing aphorisms and epigrammatic phrases that investigate language, acquisition and desire. Employing a visual system that suggests flowcharts, horizon lines and diagrams, Blue Moon Over is structured as a series of seamlessly animated sequences of drawings and text fragments. Through subtle manipulations, Weiner engages in linguistic tricks and metamorphoses that visually manifest his conceptual inquiries.

Broken Off
Lawrence Weiner
1971, 1:30 min, b&w, sound

"In this video the artist states that it is a public freehold work which demonstrates what could be art within his responsibility. Like Beached it was also shot in a marshy area near the sea and in sequences that are separated by dissolves. One sees five different actions that are related to...

Bumper
LoVid
2002, 6:29 min, color, sound

"Bumper was filmed at the time of our first pregnancy in late 2001/early 2002. At the time we were also making small objects from melted plastic beads in our kitchen. In Bumper we use these objects as accessories and low-tech special effects. The video shows our early interest in futuristic images of the human body’s intertwined relationship with natural and technological systems alongside craft and crude DIY aesthetics. Unintended at the time, but recently discovered and newly appreciated, is the audio track, capturing the domestic atmosphere of the time, including background radio and a brief conversation on a telephone." — LoVid

Buoy
Seoungho Cho
2008, 7:11 min, color, sound, HD video

The golden, barren landscape of Death Valley, recorded by Cho from a moving car, provides the luminous and mysterious texture of Buoy. Cho reflects on the polar extremes of this desert, once the floor of a vast sea and now traversed by tourists. In contrast to the horizontal landscape, which floats ceaselessly past Cho's camera, vertical "strata" pattern the imagery, creating an axis between natural landscape and Cho's composition.

Nam June Paik
1986, 2:03 min, color, sound

The exuberant irreverence and wit of Butterfly characterizes Paik's stream-of-consciousness visual and conceptual techniques. In a vibrant image/music collage, he ironically juxtaposes high-cultural artifacts (the aria from Madame Butterfly), contemporary avant-garde icons (Laurie Anderson) and...
