A selection from Doug Aitken: Electric Earth
A screening of filmic works by Doug Aitken as related to Doug Aitken: Electric Earth, approximately 2 hrs.
Aitken belongs to a generation of artists such as Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, for whom film functions as a medium for experience, and exists as form as much as subject matter.
