iotaSalon | April 2010

At the iotaSalon, we get together to screen and discuss new experimental works alongside some classics. The theme for our next iotaSalon is Visualizing the Body and Biology. We will be investigating the ways in which different experimental artists use biology as aesthetic themes in their work. How does the inherently concrete human form fit into abstract art? How is the body broken down, abstracted and reinterpreted to explore emotional or spiritual concepts? In what ways do biological concepts inform or interact with experimental visual media?

Screening on 16mm as part of the historic film segment:
Furies (1977) – Sara Petty
Ace of Light (1984) – Sky David (aka Dennis Pies)
7362 (1967) – Pat O’Neill
