On view September 9-October 28, 2011, Flickerlounge presents Video LAB, curated by Mary Benedicto.  Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 6-9pm.

View abstract and non-narrative timebased concepts through Video LAB. Video LAB chronicles, compiles and serves as a place and structure for video and sound art in the North Texas area.

Video/Sound equipment and software have become portable and economically feasible for a growing number of artists to utilize as a tool for the creative process. Video LAB is a conduit to the proliferation of video/sound art and feeds off the technology and cultural forms of the current timescape in which we are living.
