AES+F "Last Riot"

The LACDA Top 40 exhibit at the California Museum of Photography is running through August 22. The reception was very lively, and the additional screening of the LACDA videos was so well received that Reggie Wollery of the museum informed me that he will put them on display on a flat screen through the run of the exhibit. All of the videos in this collection were culled from the entire mass of entrants to last years DigitalArt.LA. This selection of videos will also screen at the Laznia Center for Contemporary Art in Danzig, Poland in 2010.
