Psychogeography Lives
The course I teach at Hunter College in the IMA (Integrated Media Arts) MFA program called Psychogeography is very process oriented, but that doesn’t keep the amazing students from turning fully formed projects into the world. Annie Berman’s great video Street Views, “shot” entirely in Google Street View, made for class last year, just won best experimental short at the Rome Independent Film Festival and has been screening widely. Jason Fox, who also took the class last year, has programmed the latest season of Flaherty NYC screenings at Anthology Film Archive. Jason closed out the series with an awesome augmented reality film walk called Pot Luck that took viewers to sites around the East Village to see work by Catherine Chalmers, Stefani Bardin, Alan Raymond and others, intriguingly sited and triggered by local signage. We made a little bit of a spectacle of ourselves.
