Woody Vasulka (born in 1937) began
producing films in the 1960s and worked on computer graphics in its
early stage in the 1970s. He is one of the veteran artists leading
the media art world today.
In recent years he has been producing a series of interactive media
installations titled The Brotherhood, using materials discarded by
American military research institutes. This has received high international
recognition as an excellent work seeking to explore the relationship
between technology and brotherhood, the principle of masculinity described
as almost brutal in modern times.
The exhibition is Woody Vasulka's first one in Japan, featuring six
installations in the Brotherhood series including three latest works
produced over a two-year period in his studio in Santa Fe, the U.S.,
specifically for his one-man show at ICC. This is the largest one-man
exhibition devoted exclusively to installations. Events to be held
during the term of the exhibition include workshops given by the artist,
sound performance by his wife Steina, and presentation at the theater
of 32 selected video art works by the couple.
