Mobile Phone Video Art Classics

06/07/2007 - 29/07/2007 ( Private View: Thursday 5 July, 7–11pm )

E:ventGallery is delighted to present an exhibition of recent work by Mark Amerika.

Mark Amerika’s recent artwork has investigated the emergence of digitally constructed identities, theoretical fictions, meta-histories, and collaborative networks. In his new artwork, Mobile Phone Video Art Classics (MPVAC), the artist composts various art personas and artworks into a narrative sequence of mobile phone video images that conjure up both the spirits of the past as well as hauntological actors of the present.
