Wilderness is vanishing before our eyes. New Nature is an ongoing project that combines the visual language of landscape photography and the formal legacy of structural film in the creation of archival audiovisual recordings of wild landscapes. These recordings are meant to be acquired and preserved by museums so that they might one day be experienced by future generations. An artist talk will begin at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29 in building 34, room 149. A reception will follow at 6 p.m. in the University Art Gallery.
Victoria Fu

TALK & RECEPTION THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 2019, 5-7PM
UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY
FREE + OPEN TO PUBLIC
The video art and photography of Victoria Fu examines and plays with artistic conventions and the dispersal of technical images in the contemporary era. Using appropriated stock footage and original imagery, Fu dissects strategies of visual communication by collaging scraps of digital media into formal elements. Fu often manipulates film footage through blurring, cropping, and unusual or repetitive editing to create abstract sequences. Fu decodes and aestheticizes the stream of mundane visual data that swirls around citizens in the developed world.
