AB - <p>"G.H. Hovagimyan&nbsp;is an experimental artist working in a variety of forms. Christina McPhee's expansive images move from within a matrix of abstraction, shadowing figures and contingent effects. Artists Meeting is a group of artists who create interventions and events. <br></p><p>'Plazaville' is a new media video art work set in 21st century New York City. It is based on the classic 1965 movie 'Alphaville' by Jean Luc Godard. The scenes from the original 'Alphaville' are being re-enacted, interpreted and improvised upon by artists, actors and videographers. The piece uses the Internet as one means of distributing the short video clips. Viewers can download new scenes as they become available. This is somewhat like a serialized program but is not in any order. The videos can be viewed on computers, iPhones and large screen HD televisions (using AppleTV). 'Plazaville' extends the notion of video-performance by using the idea of a movie shoot as vehicle for ephemeral performance art.<br></p><p>'Plazaville' was exhibited as an installation at Pace Digital Gallery in April 2009." -- From <em>Turbulence</em></p>
