Steina: Playback
With Playback, the List Visual Arts Center will present the first solo exhibition in over a decade of Steina, the pathbreaking media artist whose work traverses video, music, and technology through a commitment to spontaneity and play. 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.
