ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Steina’s nearly five decades of video work queries the possibilities of sound-image exchange, machine vision, and electronic abstraction. She has persistently sought to generate images that exceed the human eye and decenter human subjectivity. Venturing in nature and combining imaging technologies with reflective orbs, she creates work that reorients viewers in relation to both natural and electronic space. The title Playback alludes to the capacities of video as a medium, as well as the way her videos and installations emerge from the endless process of playing with and manipulating signals rather than a results-oriented commitment to image or narrative.

5:30 PM | Public Program: Steina in Conversation with Natalie Bell, List Center Curator, Chris Hill, media curator, and Gloria Sutton, Associate Professor at Northeastern University.
