El placer de los eventos electrónicos vibrantes y el despliegue cinematográfico.

 

"The Process Tapes", piezas de videoarte: basadas en lentes y electrónica; video, electrónica, televisión analógica y digital. A finales de la década de 1960, nuevos discursos artísticos con nombres como arte conceptual y arte procesual proponían radicalmente la desmaterialización del objeto artístico.

 

Estas piezas de síntesis de video en tiempo real, iniciadas a mediados de la década de 1970, participaron en dichas propuestas. Al contemplar estas obras, estas investigaciones sobre la imagen transformadora en el arte de finales del siglo XX, sorprende su simultánea seriedad, jocosidad e ironía, situándose a la vez dentro y fuera de la ilusión y los nuevos materialismos. Concibo este trabajo como una acción de rescate.

​

Bode estará presente en las proyecciones del 21 de noviembre en Buenos Aires.

The joy of shimmering electronic events and unfolding cinematics.

​

"The Process Tapes, video art pieces: lens based, electronic based; video, electronic, analog and digital television. 

By the late 1960’s new art discourses with names like conceptual art and process art were radically proposing the dematerialization of the art object. 

​

These real time video synthesis pieces starting in the mid 1970’s took part in these propositions. 

Now when looking at these works, these investigations of the transformational image in late 20th Century art, one is struck by their simultaneous seriousness, jocularity and irony, being both inside and outside of illusion and the new materialisms.

I think of this work as a rescue action.

​

First ever screenings in Latin America!

​

Bode will be present for the 6 PM screening on November 21 in Buenos Aires at Kino Palais.
