Experimedia + MOCA presents Joshua Bonnetta: Strange Lines and Distances

Experimedia and MOCA Cleveland present Joshua Bonnetta, an interdisciplinary artist working with film, video and sound in various modes of theatrical exhibition, performance and installation. Bonnetta will screen his work Strange Lines and Distances, a two-channel audio-visual installation focusing on Guglielmo Marconi’s first transatlantic radio broadcast. The work is inspired by Marconi’s belief that sound never diminishes, but rather grows incrementally fainter and fainter. Strange Lines and Distances looks at and listens to the past, revisiting Marconi’s original transmission sites in order to explore the hauntological aspects of radio and landscape. The installation invites a consideration of the monumental impact of the first wireless transmission, and explores the medium’s potential to conflate and fragment both space and time.

Mr. Bonnetta will give a presentation on Strange Lines and Distances before the film screening and will host an audience Q & A session afterwards.
