“I really like the idea of banality and repetition being used to generate the image,
which are simple and unobstructed and not captivated by composition.”
Doug Aitken

In conjunction with Doug Aitken: Electric Earth, the Modern’s EDU department has gathered image, text, video, sound and interactive content to compile into a multimedia PDF hinging on the conceptualization of the American Frontier and its transience into the 21st century.

Selected work has been curated into a nonnarrative format referencing Aitken’s creation and disruption of narratives through editing and content.
