Reagan Babies: Born In The USA, the second screening in
the Panorama series at Eyebeam, looks at experimental and underground filmmakers
who've recently come of age in the United States. Reagan Babies investigates
the esthetics that arise when ADD plus CNN is your generation’s LSD.
Curated by Ed Halter, this selection of made-in-America videos from the
11th New York Underground Film Festival (plus a few new surprises) features
works by Cory Arcangel, Seth Price, Frankie Martin, Dara Greenwald, Kent
Lampert, Bryan Boyce, Treewave, Brian
Doyle,
Jim Finn, Devin Flynn, Les LeVeque and Takeshi Murata. Full lineup below!
In an empire defined by celebrity leaders, videotape memories, personal
technology, electronic terrorism, multi-channel overload and digital social
lives, Reagan Babies are those for whom workfare and warfare have become
downloadable games and history represents a bunch of files cluttering the
desktop.
Following the screening, LoVid (Tali Hinkis and
Kyle Lapidus) will whip ordinary TV feeds up into hyperkinetic audiovisual
abstractions using homemade electronic devices, repurposed analog
toys, and low-res video loops in a frenzy of post-consumer creative
destruction.
