Sat | Nov 15th | 4PM Performance by Cory Arcangel followed by conversation with Eivind Rssaak, & Alexander R. Galloway. Q&A/Signing
Please Join us Saturday, November 15th at 4 PM -6PM to celebrate the launch of "The Cory Arcangel Hack, Digital Culture & Aesthetic Practice by Eivind Rssaak. Cory Arcangel Performance. Cory Arcangel in conversation with Eivind Rssaak & Alexander R. Galloway.
This book is the first in-depth exploration of the work of artist Cory Arcangel, a pioneer of DIY-new media art whose influential hacks subvert the confines of Big Tech.Combining the hands-on skills from the 1990s net art scene & the 2010s post-internet art's fondness for memes & the generic image, Arcangel demonstrated the way cultural expressions are intimately connected to media technologies & how these technologies can be pranked for cultural critique. In The Cory Arcangel Hack, Eivind Rssaak shows how Arcangel's body of work defines a particular strain of post-conceptual art that is fundamental for understanding the digital world we live in.
