Recently, my work and recent film received mention on a website for the course: Urban Media Archeology at The New School. A student wrote:
Another recent exciting discovery that may lead to new layers of my project was my encounter with Jason Borbay’s website; Jason is a New York City location artist and film artist whose directorial debut, the “New York Post” won Best Film at the 2010 Hakker Short Film Festival. His 10-minute film (which you can watch in its entirety at the link above) “chronicles an Upper East Side adventure between two pals as they read, walk, talk, dance and savor the day.” As for his location artwork, his website indicates that it is “comprised of collaged New York Post headlines, and layer upon layer of acrylic paint. Driven to capture the actuality of society, this series visually displays the paradox of love, lust, murder, sex, sports, betrayal, triumph, religion, rape and politics in one place… concepts any person reading a daily newspaper will see juxtaposed without a second thought.”
You can check out the post here, and the course outline here. Many thanks for the shout.
