Microscope is very pleased to present “Intersections I” the first of two programs dedicated to the never before seen video works by James Fotopoulos in collaboration with fellow artists and friends. The 95 minutes program features\u00a0works ranging from 35 seconds to 33 minutes made in correspondence with Cory Arcangel, Ben Coonley and Stom Sogo between 2004 and 2009. Each piece was initiated in various spontaneous manners, without plan or purpose, through processes very much subject to chance, often with the artists located in different cities shipping elements of video and sound through the mail. The resulting works push into realms not previously touched upon by the collaborators in their solo endeavors, yet retain characteristics of each. <\/span><\/p>\n
