Ocular Degenerate: Derek Farkas

In the first public exhibition of his work, Derek Farkas, UB Visual Studies/Media Study Undergraduate and interdisciplinary artist, will present a two night screening titled Ocular Degenerate.

To be held at:
Rust Belt Books
202 Allen St., Buffalo, NY
December 8th and 9th, 2011
Opening Thursday, December 8 at 6 PM

The event will feature a multi-channel video installation utilizing a collection of retro televisions and videocassettes. In highlighting the minutiae of these mediums, the decaying elements are presented within an environment of discordant VHS sourced loops accompanied by an animated projection. The asynchronous elements of the piece are intended to dissect societal delineations, and in doing so, demystify the artificial veneer in modern notions of free will.
