AGENDA FOR A L ANDSCAPE
NEW MUSEUM, Installation;
July 12 - September 22, 2002 at Zenith Media Lounge
In L.Franklin Gilliam’s Agenda for a Landscape, the gallery becomes an abandoned NASA command center showcasing computer manipulated footage of Mars, obtained by the Sojourner Rover (Remotely Operated Vehicular Robot) in NASA’s 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, combined with Gilliam’s own video work and other found imagery. By creating an entirely new Martian landscape, Gilliam raises questions about telerobotic technology and the authenticity of information that is disseminated over time and space.
