Through the gracious efforts of the Steps Gallery in London, the video

installation " Last Riot " by the Russian collective " AES+F " that was featured at

the Venice Biennale will be exhibited for DigitalArt.LA August 13-15. This is a

fantastic work of the highest caliber, we are very excited that we have reached

this level of collaboration.

The LACDA Top 40 exhibit at the California Museum of Photography is running

through August 22. The reception was very lively, and the additional screening

of the LACDA videos was so well received that Reggie Wollery of the museum

informed me that he will put them on display on a flat screen through the run of

the exhibit. All of the videos in this collection were culled from the entire

mass of entrants to last years DigitalArt.LA. This selection of videos will also

screen at the Laznia Center for Contemporary Art in Danzig, Poland in 2010.
