Interactive Community Art

Graduate-Level Graffiti: Lost in Translation has already brought together artists from around the world to communicate through the creative experience. With new media formats available to more diverse communities outside of the mainstream, artists can now come together virtually to produce collaborative works of art. Lost in Translation represents the possibilities of a future wherein we can envision truly authentic and honest multicultural conversation.

Synopsis

Strangers (2006), places the Black female body within the framework of “Japanese film aesthetics” to ask questions about identity, cultural difference, translation, and misinterpretation. Using the human voice, sound mixing technology, poetry, and other sounds, beats and noises, Natasha Marin and Kenji Siratori plot a course back and forth across the Atlantic that explode existing notions of musical aesthetics, cultural interaction, and artistic collaboration in the cyber age.
