Artist in Person New York filmmaker Zoe Beloff will present A Trip tothe Land of Knowledge (65 mins), a collage of home movies, documentaryfootage, and garish melodrama. These elements are constructed as"blocks" laid side by side which build into an emotional, ambiguousexploration of a girl's socialization, down (blocked)paths to"knowledge." Beloff will also show a number of episodes from her movieserial-weekly postings of quick-time films on the World Wide Web-and demonstrateBeyond, her work-in-progress CD ROM. It "operates in a playful spirit ofphilosophical inquiry, exploring the paradoxes of technology, desire, and theparanormal posed since the birth of mechanical reproduction; the phonographsevering the voice from the body, photography capturing the soul, and cinemaresurrecting the dead°.There was an almost magical element in the way people sawthese developments, an issue I feel important to bring to light as we enter thisstrange new digital realm."
