  Wigged Productions (http://www.wigged.net) an organization dedicated to


  making new and innovative art more accessible through broadcast and Web-

  based presentations is pleased to present a video interview with computer

  artist, Cory Arcangel.   A link to the video can be found on Wigged's


  homepage (http://www.wigged.net).


  Cory Arcangel, member of the BEIGE programming ensemble, uses obsolete

  computers found at thrift stores and garage sales as means to express his


  ideas.  As part of his artistic practice, Arcangel likes to hack old

  computer games.  For example, Arcangel's i shot andy warhol is a modified

  version of the interactive light gun game, Hogan's Alley. In i shot andy


  warhol, players are asked to shoot various 8-bit versions of Andy Warhol,

  while being careful to avoid other characters such as the Pope, Flavor 
Flav,

  and Colonel Sanders. Arcangel's work is included in the Whitney Biennial


  2004.

  Quicktime 6.4 or later and a DSL/Cable modem or faster is required to view
  the video.
