Screening and Q&A with Director REBECCA BARON
Rebecca Baron makes films and moving-image installations. Her award-winning works have been screened extensively in the US and abroad, including Rotterdam, London, Toronto Oberhausen, Ann Arbor and New York Film Festival, Whitney Museum of American Art, MAK Museum Vienna, Flaherty Film Seminar, Orphans Film Symposium, IMAGES, Cinematheque Francaise, and Viennale. She holds a B.A. from Brown University and MFA from UC San Diego. She is the recipient of a 2002 Guggenheim Fellowship and currently teaches at CalArts.
Baron will be screening a series of older projects from the mid 1990s and new series of videos, "The Lossless Series," made in collaboration with Douglas Goodwin. In this series, the artists seek to uncover differences between the bitstream and the celluloid strip. These differences might be blurry at out historical juncture, but Baron and Goodwin's work leads us closer tot he over-coded heart of the digital video image, dissecting its anatomy to expose its entrancing mechanisms.
