8.2. Monday Night Lecture with Krzysztof Wodiczko, New York
Expertly staged in public space, Krzysztof Wodiczko’s large scale video and slide projections deal with themes such as war, conflict, trauma, memory, and communication. His art is in active dialogue with both victims and perpertrators of current political conflicts. Using projection as his main form of artistic expression, he carefully considers a sense of place in his statements. His work has contributed to the evolution of projection as a medium, particularly with his voice recorders and wearable displays.
