Artist Tim Tate has created miniature reliquaries to digital video that memorializes this modern technology. Tate grew up enjoying the powerful influence of video and wanted to create a glass capsule to preserve these artifacts.  After experimenting with DVD players encased within glass, Tate realized a custom video player without moving parts would have to be developed.  He partnered with a electronic optics company and over the course of year developed a little video system that could loop video without the need of repair.

Canadian artist Jeremy Bailey combines performance art with video and technology. The Rhizome Commisions supports new media artists with grants for projects, and Jeremy’s proposal is to create a Dialectical Software Gundam Suit.
Jeremy’s project intends to:
create a new live performance involving a software “suit” that augments and extends both the creative and destructive abilities of the performer (myself). The image of the suit will be superimposed in real-time over the artist during the performance. The work will be satirical, but will appear as a sincere attempt by the artist to create a more advanced human form.
