Flavorwire has posted an extensive look/review of the Infinite Jest inspired art exhibition: A Failed Entertainment (previously).
Organiser Sam Ekwurtzel speaks about some of the multimedia aspects of the show:
So all of the films in the show are for the most part short loops, maybe five to ten minute films. All of the films are played from a column of twenty-three VCRs sending out twenty-three video signals that go into a switcher and output into a large monitor and projector. So the audience is able to change what they’re seeing by turning it up. It’s sort of like an old analog television. You know how there’s that knob, you change the channel, you can still turn it infinitely so it loops on itself.
It sounds super interesting. If the fantods readers that said they were attending would like to put together some thoughts on the exhibition I'll post them here.
