This week we chat with contemporary artist, and pioneer of video art, Gary Hill. For many Gary needs no introduction – he was among the first generation of artists to explore television and the video signal as a creative medium in the early 1970s. Through video sculptures, installations, and single-channel works, Gary explores the phenomenological, language, and the body’s relationship to technology. In our chat we’ll hear about Gary’s origins as an artist, the early video art scene in upstate NY, his evolving relationship to technology, and how he approaches the long term maintenance and perpetuation of his installations.
