Electric Breath; a screening of experimental video and animation

Electric Breath
FEBRUARY 12, 2017

Electric Ice is a screening series that traces Frankensteinian themes in film history and contemporary video and animation. From monstrous avatars struggling to thrive in, or escape from, virtual worlds to animal-headed humans narrating a drowned city, the screening presents a forecast by turns satirical, dreamy and dystopian. Works by Marina Zurkow, Claudia Hart, Eva Davidova, Takashi Murata, Carla Gannis, Edison Studios and Hilary Harp and Suzie Silver explore the parables that haunt modernity’s ongoing encounter with the seductions of technology. An outdoor screening will take place on the lawn next to University Club and an indoor series will screen inside the building in the Sky Room. Look below for descriptions of each piece.

Electric Breath was curated by Meredith Drum.
Emerge Festival of Futures 2017 was curated by Dehlia Hannah.
