    Winet, a professor of Intermedia in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa, has followed U.S. presidential elections since the 1984 National Democratic Convention in San Francisco. He first covered events using photography to document candidates and voters, but now he captures elements of the events using digital cameras to take stills and record video to create "new media" art. Iowa Independent cameras caught him embedded in the front lines of the press corps at the Johnson County Democrats' barbecue and then at a Rudy Giuliani speech on the University of Iowa campus. Last week, he sat down for an interview and to talk about his next project: The Electoral College.

    Underground LIVE! W/ DJ Niko 02:53

    Underground LIVE! W/ DJ Niko

    by Atomburke (3/7/07) 414 views

    This is footage I made for a show called "Underground Live." There is a little footage at the end from another of the "Underground" crew- DJames. Recorded February 5, 2002 with DJ Niko We met Niko in Iowa City and last I heard he was in Washington DC. He made music from his PC, but once I saw him play a teakettle and an iron onstage at an experimental music concert. This particular show's visual theme was "technology." I found some old computer boards for a backdrop and some Muybridge animations to choreograph. The Rorschach test looking footage is a sparkler that was mirrored, flipped, keyed, slowed and probably some other effects. Final Cut! yeah .
