Its primary activities are the organization of art, film and video exhibitions that travel throughout the United States and abroad. The AFA Film Program is guided and advised by a National Film Advisory Committee composed of museum and media arts center directors, curators, educators, filmmakers and trustees. Film exhibitions organized from the broad areas of "films as art" (animation, experimental narrative, lyrical documentary, abstract film) and "films on art" (documentaries on the lives and works of artists and on historical and contemporary art movements) circulate widely to museums, universities, media arts centers, neighbor hood cultural centers and libraries, accompanied bv catalogs and program notes, press materials, stills and posters. In 1983, the AFAbegan traveling art video exhibitions in addition to film exhibitions. Cur rently-touring video exhibitions include Revising Romance: New Feminist Fideo and the 1985 Whitney Biennial f ideo Exhibition. The AFAFilm Program is also a primary source of high-quality prints bv film and video artists for media study collections. The American Federation of Arts Film Program is partially supported with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts, and by the AFAFriends of Film and the Brown Foundation. The Museum of Modern Art Video Program The Museum's involvement with video began in 1968. when two videotapes by Nam June Paik were shown in the exhibition The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age. An ongoing video exhibition program was begun in 1974, followed shortly by the "Video Viewpoints'' lecture series. The Museum has been developing a video collection, which to date includes over 600 titles by independent and broadcast producers. The Museum's Video Program is supported bv the Sonv Corporation of America, and receives public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

  • Mitochodrial Combustion at Club Parasite an Interview with Hideaki Sena
    Tech Flesh 4: Mitochodrial Combustion at Club Parasite An Interview With Hideaki Sena Lisa Lynch Hideaki Sena is most likely the only untranslated contemporary Japanese science fiction writer with a cult following in the United States. His 1995 novel, Parasite Eve, was made into a Playstation game soon after it became a bestseller in Japan. Since then, over 1.5 million copies of the game has been sold and the American film rights to the novel have been optioned by the singer Madonna. Finally, there are plans underway to translate the novel into English. Sena is a bit stunned by the success of his work both in Japan and internationally: a pharmacology graduate student, he didn't imagine there would be such a tremendous response to a story about human mitochondria that plan a coup against the human race. Parasite Eve takes as its starting point the 1987 announcement by a team of American molecular biologists that they had discovered the ancestral origins of homo sapiens. Working on the assumption that the DNA of mitochondria (complex organelles that exist within cells and provide energy for respiration and metabolism) have been passed down more or less intact through the maternal lineage since the beginning of humankind, the team collected mitchondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 136 women of diverse geographic and racial origins. Running their data through a computer, the biologists then matched their findings to a single ancestral mtDNA molecule (believed to be from an African woman just under 200,000 years old). Paleontological evidence and statistical reshuffling have since undermined African Eve's legitimacy as a historical reality, but during the late 80s and early 90s she was a persistent icon, appearing on the cover of Time and Newsweek and sparking both scientific and social debate.

  • Sanjski Grad Vsakega Umetnika« – Japonski Avantgardni Center V 60
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2016.4.2.183-200 183 »Sanjski grad vsakega umetnika« – Japonski avantgardni center v 60. letih 20. stoletja Klara HRVATIN* Izvleček Članek predstavlja uvod v predstavitev umetniškega gibanja Sōgetsu (1958–1971), nje- govega mesta v zgodovini japonske avantgardne scene, pomembnosti umetniškega centra Sōgetsu (Sōgetsu Art Center ali SAC), kjer se je gibanje odvijalo, in njegovega mecena Sōfuja Teshigahare. Ob pregledu prvih obstoječih dokumentov o SAC-u, prvega, ki je služil kot uvodni vodič Centra (objavljen 1. septembra 1958), in drugega, ki je bil eksklu- zivno izdan ob njegovem odprtju (13. septembra 1958), bomo lahko natančneje razkrili SAC-ovo podobo in kapacitete ter opredelili cilje, ki si jih je postavil pred začetkom delo- vanja. Kaj je Center nudil, da je bil razglašen za »sanjski grad vsakega umetnika«? Ključne besede: japonska avantgardna umetnost, umetniško gibanje Sōgetsu, umetniški center Sōgetsu, Sōfu Teshigahara, šola ikebane Sōgetsu Abstract This article is an introduction to the Sōgetsu art movement (1958–1971): its importance in the history of the Japanese avant-garde, and the significance of the Sōgetsu Art Center (SAC) itself, including its patron Sōfu Teshigahara. By examining the first two print- ed materials on SAC, the first of which served as an introductory guide to the Center (published on September 1st, 1958), and the second printed exclusively for the Center’s opening (September 13th, 1958), we will consider the Center’s appearance and facilities and point out its functions, which Teshigahara assigned from its begining. What were the Center’s particular features by which it got called “the dream castle of every artist”? Keywords: Japanese avant-garde, Sōgetsu art movement, Sōgetsu Art Center (SAC), Sōfu Teshigahara, Sōgetsu ikebana school * Klara HRVATIN, dr., Oddelek za azijske študije, Filozofska fakulteta, Univerza v Ljubljani.
