Art Jones, a native New Yorker and a 2023-24 SPCUNY Faculty Fellow at the City College of New York, joins host Catherine LaSota for a conversation about Art’s work in film and video and music, and in live performance. Art talks about how his experience with COVID lockdown caused him to have a new relationship with time, and the resulting collapse of social reality and science fiction since then. Art also talks about the assignments that he brings into the classroom for his students at CUNY, as well as the way in which our experiences of reality, when captured in documentary, become complicated by memory.

About our guest:

Art Jones works with film/video, sculpture, and expanded media. Jones’s work often utilizes mainstream and social media as raw material to be sampled, remixed, and re-combined in order to examine implicit meanings or suggest new ones. Working within a particular genre or mode, Jones’s practice seeks to reveal and reorient how information is transmitted and received. Jones is a native New Yorker and lives in the Bronx, New York.
