phenomenon. In what form does this group of DIY tech pioneers carry on
the early flame of media revolution? Find out, when LoVid (Tali
Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) presents their interdisciplinary

Cultural Structures and Archetypes
Mythic structures such as contemporary cinema and consumer
culture are often the springboard for creating art. Here, Mandy
Morrison will discuss how she reconfigures contemporary society
and uses archetypes of gender to present both the physical and
psychological world of conditioning, and the ways in which they
converge and digress. Her aim is twofold: to present fragments of the
culture in which these worlds collide and to engage the viewer as a
participant on that stage. Mandy (and moniker mandymachine) is a
multidisciplinary artist working in video, installation and
performance. She is a recipient of several fellowships and awards and
her work has been shown in a number of museum, gallery and festival
venues in the US and Europe.
