Friday Field Study: 911 Media Arts

911 Media Arts Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting independent digital media artists in the creation and exhibition of their work.

Misha Neininger, Executive Director and Curator of 911 Media Arts Center welcomes another renowned media artist with Cornish art professor Robert Campbell. His new video installation yellow and other works, will be running from March 15th to April 30th. yellow addresses perhaps the two greatest issues of our time—environmental degradation and information exchange—through a unique technique of projecting video onto cast plaster and glass.
“My intention is to create a mind stain,” Campbell says of the work. The video projections serve as a form of information exchange that tries to mimic or substitute for the overabundance of chemical inputs we receive through cosmetics, food, and other common products. At its core, yellow looks into the deep relationship between information and chemicals, and attempts to leave a chemical imprint on the minds of viewers.
