Following the online screening on Thursday, Feb. 23, Peer Bode and Kathy High will discuss Hocking's work. In a career spanning over four decades, video artist Bode has created an
extensive body of work that investigates electronic media events, active perception systems and culture. A graduate of Binghamton University's Cinema Department, Bode studied with Ken Jacobs, Larry Gottheim, Nicholas Ray and Peter Kubelka, and later with Woody and Steina Vasulka, Paul Sharits, Tony Conrad and Hollis Frampton at SUNY Buffalo's Media Study Program. Bode worked at the Experimental Television Center (ETC), which his lifelong mentor and friend Hocking established in
Binghamton in 1970. At the ETC, Bode made his seminal early works while assisting and collaborating with the video artist and engineer David Jones, whose "Jones Frame Buffer" became a signature processor within Bode's oeuvre. His work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including MoMA, Anthology Film Archives, the Whitney Biennial, the European Media Art Festival (Germany), Impakt Film and Video Art Festival (the Netherlands), Viper Festival (Switzerland), among many others. A key figure of the Owego and Alfred schools of video arts, Bode headed the Video Arts Program at the School of Art and Design, NYSCC at Alfred University, where he co-founded the Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA).
High is an interdisciplinary artist working with technology, art and biology. She collaborates with scientists and artists, and considers living systems, empathy, animal sentience and the social, political and ethical dilemmas of biotechnology and
surrounding industries. She has received awards including the Guggenheim Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and National Endowment for Arts. Her artworks have been shown at documenta 13 (Germany), Guggenheim Museum, Museum of
Modern Art, Lincoln Center and Exit Art (NYC), UCLA (Los Angeles), Science Gallery (Dublin), NGBK (Berlin), Festival Transitio_MX (Mexico), MASS MoCA (North Adams), Para-site Gellery (Hong Kong) and Esther Klein Gellery, Science Center (Philadelphia). High is professor of video and new media at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
