Projected onto the exterior walls of the Getty Center, 18 artists' videos from 1984 to 2007 explore the theme of the body as nature or culture. This special two-evening installation complements the exhibition California Video and is curated by Anne Bray, Director of Freewaves, a Los Angeles-based arts organization connecting new media from around the world. The videos are arranged thematically and play in a loop starting and ending at the tram arrival plaza, with a fulcrum at the Museum Courtyard.
