This third program in the Channel Silver Eye microcinema screening series features a selection of contemporary videos that explore themes of representation and artifice in the mediated experience. These works have a particular eye and ear tuned toward the inherent tensions that arise through attempts to capture reality, reveal the behind-the-scenes chicanery of “live television,” navigate the vast media landscape as it converges with memory in the creation of a fictional film, and engage the formally rigorous tableaus designed in collaboration with their subjects–members of the the much-maligned Juggalo subculture. The program includes Nathan Truesdell’s Balloonfest, Benjamin and Stefan Ramirez Perez’s CONFLUENCE, Indefinite Pitch by James N. Kienitz Wilkins, and Scott Cummings’s Buffalo Juggalos.
