Keeping Current

We have talked much about performers and artists of yesteryear but I always like to look to the present in order to see where these past people and events have taken us. Pipilotti Rist is a great example of one of the directions the art world has gone. She is a modern artist with hundreds of installations, prizes, publications and credentials under her belt. Most famous for her video installations she views the screen in a totally different maner. One such installation she had huge monitors placed in public areas onto which she had video of herself pushing against the camera, pressing her face onto the screen, as if trying to escape. She is a talented artist worth further exploration.
