FLEFF Presents ‘Networked Disruptions’

Online exhibition features multimedia artists from around the world.

To conclude its 2019 festival, the Finger Lakes Environmental Film 
Festival<https://www.ithaca.edu/fleff/> presents “Networked Disruptions,” an 
online exhibition of digital media exploring the power of networks, such as 
global trade and the internet, and the positive and negative effects of their 
disruption. The exhibition can be accessed on the FLEFF 
website<https://www.ithaca.edu/fleff/networkeddisruptions/>.

“‘Networked Disruptions’ asks us to stop thinking only of the power cuts and 
Wi-Fi dead zones that occasionally affect our lives, and to instead think about 
ways that we can disrupt larger networks of corporate power and resource 
extraction that we enable through our daily habits as they destroy our shared 
environment,” said New York University Abu Dhabi associate professor Dale 
Hudson, who curated the exhibition along with Wichita State University 
assistant professor Claudia Costa Pederson.

Featured artists include Ithaca College alumnus Jeff Silva ’96, Ramona Bădescu, 
Isabelle Carbonell, Zachary Norman, Zlatko Ćosić, Michael Amato, Aggie Ebrahimi 
Bazaz, Mez Breeze, Ben Grosser, Garrett Lynch and Jody Zellen.

The exhibition’s projects make use of a wide array of media, such as digital 
photographs, micro-short videos, feature-length films, digital animations, 
interactive documentaries, 360-degree videos, virtual reality games, 
web-application plug-ins, cryptographics, and automated hacks of online polling 
systems. The variety of projects conveys the innovative ways that artists have 
used old and new technologies to create politically and environmentally engaged 
art.

Three projects have been selected for the exhibition’s jury prizes:

  *   “The River Runs 
Red”<https://www.ithaca.edu/fleff/networkeddisruptions/riverrunsred/> by 
Isabelle Carbonelle, an interactive documentary that examines the consequences 
of extractive economies and inadequate modes for disposing of toxic waste in 
iron-ore mines in Bento Rodrigues, Brazil.
  *   “Endangered 
Data”<https://www.ithaca.edu/fleff/networkeddisruptions/endangereddata/> by 
Zachary Norman, which uses the cryptographic method of steganography to hide 
data from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center within the pixels of 
visual images in response to the recent removal of scientific evidence of 
global warming from the Environmental Protection Agency website.
  *   
“UN-POLLUTE”<https://www.ithaca.edu/fleff/networkeddisruptions/unpollute/> by 
Zlatko Ćosić, a short video that asks audiences to consider the limitations of 
efforts to control the damage that humans inflict upon the planet.
Launched in 1997 as an outreach project from Cornell University’s Center for 
the Environment, the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival was moved 
permanently to Ithaca College in 2005. It is housed in the Office of the 
Provost as a program to link intellectual inquiry and debate to larger global 
issues.

Preservation and Exhibition of Experimental Film

Top of Form

Hi! My name is Madison More, and I am an experimental filmmaker and student in 
the Museum Management and Curatorship program at Fleming College. I am 
currently conducting research for my summer semester research project. The 
project is examining the unique preservation and exhibition needs of 
experimental film, and will hopefully become a useful tool to guide archives 
and other cultural institutions on how to ethically manage their experimental 
film works. Although my project will lean more heavily towards work produced on 
film, I am still interested in works produced on other formats (video and 
digital).

I am looking to gain insight from experimental filmmakers on how their works 
have been/are currently being managed by cultural institutions, and what they 
think can be done by these institutions to ensure that the artistic integrity 
of their works is maintained in the future. I would appreciate it if you filled 
out this survey. It has 9 questions and should take around 5 minutes to 
complete. All responses will be kept anonymous, but they may be used in my 
research report as evidence. If you have any questions, or would like to talk 
to me about my project, don't hesitate to send me an email at 
[email protected].
