How are artists using programming to push the boundaries of video form, function, and exhibition? Eric Medine's eclectic body of work demonstrates new possibilities achieved through video game and YouTube hacking as well as live video mapping and mixing. Eric will discuss his experiences as a video artist and curator, show samples of his work, and perform an improvisational video piece. More at: http://www.ericmedine.com

Oxy Videotheque: Electronic Art & Activism 1967-2014 is the theme of Occidental Media Arts & Culture Program's Spring, 2014 Cinematheque series. In a digital moment where terms such as “cinema” and “film” are becoming increasingly blurred, this series focuses on video, the electronic medium that has precipitated much of that change. From its analog origins, to digital and now web-based iterations, video has profoundly transformed cinematic ideas of authorship, audience, aesthetics, and agency. Moving from early guerrilla video collectives and community-based video activism, to database documentary and video performance art, this series of spring events invites participants to explore the politics, poetics, and potentials of video.
