At the UTVAC, video inside and out
A few years ago, the Israeli Center for Digital Art began touring its collection of video art, inviting each host institution to add videos to it and letting the public choose from the video works presented.
“The Mobile Archive” is an offshoot of that first initiative and here in Austin, the University of Texas Visual Arts Center has set up a video library in its gallery space with viewing stations at which visitors can watch chosen selections.
As part of the project, the VAC will also project on its outside screen Yael Bartana’s silent video titled “Freedom Border” which depicts the launching and flight of a small military blimp, outfitted with cameras, that monitors Israel’s borders.
“The Mobile Archive” starts today continues through Dec. 17, and “Freedom Border” repeats nightly until then from 7:30 until midnight on the southeast lawn of the Art Building, 23rd and Trinity streets on the UT campus, www.utvac.org
Watch “Freedom Borders” online here.
