PAM: The Magnitude of the Continental Divides
Winner of the Grand Prize in the Metropolis Art Prize 2009.

"The Magnitude of the Continental Divides" is an animation exploring the ways we define ourselves and our nations. It is a journey between many locations in various states of withdrawal and aggression. Borders become weaponized and damage is always dealt from afar. The individual is caught in the midst, unable to separate themselves, unable to define identity without place.

Artist: Christopher Coleman.

This video forms part of A Light at the End of the Tunnel, an epic video art trilogy about the human condition which includes seminal works by 30 international emerging artists, and was curated by Perpetual Art Machine (www.perpetualartmachine.com).

The show debuted at Scope Basel 2010 (June 15 - 19, Kaserne), while premiering simultaneously on Babelgum.

Subway Yearbook Photos - M.A.P. WINNER
Winner of the Audience Award in the Metropolis Art Prize 2009.

For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we installed a photography studio on a random subway car. We claimed that the MTA had hired us to take photos of every single person who rides the subway and that we'd be producing a yearbook at the end of the year. Most people were happy to pose for us, and the resulting photos show just how diverse New York subway riders can be.

PAM: Broken Windows
Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder - these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image itself; the degradation of the image broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video’s constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the image as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can’t - or don’t want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder, as we do here.

Artist: Richard O'Sullivan.
