Cory Arcangel Video Interview @ Wigged

Wigged Productions (http://www.wigged.net) an organization dedicated
to making new and innovative art more accessible through broadcast
and Web-based presentations is pleased to present a video interview
with computer artist, Cory Arcangel. A link to the video can be
found on Wigged's homepage (http://www.wigged.net).

Cory Arcangel, member of the BEIGE programming ensemble, uses
obsolete computers found at thrift stores and garage sales as means
to express his ideas. As part of his artistic practice, Arcangel
likes to hack old computer games. For example, Arcangel's i shot
andy warhol is a modified version of the interactive light gun game,
Hogan's Alley. In i shot andy warhol, players are asked to shoot
various 8-bit versions of Andy Warhol, while being careful to avoid
other characters such as the Pope, Flavor Flav, and Colonel Sanders.
Arcangel's work is included in the Whitney Biennial 2004.

Quicktime 6.4 or later and a DSL/Cable modem or faster is required to
view the video.
