RIVER: Hudson River Intermedia Installation Project
Joan Grossman & John Toth
Filmaker Joan Grossman and video installation artist John Toth canoe the Hudson River with HD cameras clamped to the gunnels. Dark tributaries and abandonded hazzards lie beside beautiful vistas. This media installation is structured around evocative themes such as “Journeys,” “Frontiers,” “Encounters,” “Detours,” “Landings.” The installation is a visually compelling experience. With remote devices viewers activate images that ripple across multiple video projections.
