About the Event

Awakening from the 20th Century  This turn of the Century video essay by Chip Lord features interviews with writers Ellen Ullman and Rebecca Solnit along with Homer Flynn of The Residents and video artist John Sanborn.

At a time when things seemed to be going “virtual” in San Francisco, Lord asked his subjects “Will the computer replace the automobile?” and are we witnessing the “end of the City?”.

25 years later these questions seem relevant to the post-pandemic place where we live. Visual sequences traverse San Francisco using human powered transport to present an image of city space that is transformative, celebratory, and above all else, public!  At 35 minutes this is the featured work,but it will be preceded by Honolulu Underwater, 2019, with music by Pollo Del Mar, and then the program ends with Building the Beach, 2017.  Rising sea level is the context for both of these more recent HD video works
