Eddo Stern
@ Film Studies Center
5811 S Ellis Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Saturday, November 13th, from 7PM - 8:30PM
The work of Tel Aviv-born, Los Angeles-based artist and game designer Eddo Stern spans across a diverse array of media, from shadow puppetry to interactive multimedia environments requiring the use of custom-built bodily interfaces. His work has been widely exhibited at international venues including the Tate Gallery Liverpool, the Haifa Museum of Art, Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the Rotterdam Film Festival, and the British Film Institute. This selection of works focuses on Stern’s machinima videos, meditations on history, religion, nostalgia, nationalism, and masculinity, all cobbled together from found electronic sources: MIDI soundtracks, online forums, and, above all, video games.
