Making a Revolution
Video begins with a clean slate at a time when alternative
experimentation is the norm. The medium fits right in with performance,
conceptual, and installation art. Artists wear the hats of
revolutionaries, evolutionaries, feminists, conceptualists, and
modernists. Panelists: Martha Rosler, Steina Vasulka, DeeDee Halleck,
Bill Viola. Moderator: Su Ditta

May 8, 2000
Video Mass
Video latches onto postmodern issues of the day: appropriation, identity,
and the like. Professional production values start to dominate video
art, and some artists leave independent video for the "pot of gold" in
commercial television. Panelists: Laurie Anderson, Judith Barry, Bruce
Yonemoto, Tom Kalin. Moderator: Bill Horrigan

May 15, 2000
A Really Big Show
Video bursts into mainstream art during the 1980s, mostly in the form of
large-scale video installation. Biennials and thematic exhibitions begin
to feature these video works. Panelists: Paul McCarthy, Adrian Piper,
Tony Oursler, Joan Jonas. Moderator: Lynn Cooke

May 22, 2000
The Computer Monster
Today art schools are flooded with students pursuing the nirvana of
computer expertise. Once again video–in an evolved form–is in
revolutionary flux, now subsumed by media art. Panelists: Perry
Hoberman, Paul Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky, Shu Lea Cheang, Mark Napier.
Moderator: Simon Biggs
