L.A. LINK (42mins)
“Teepee Video Space Troupe: Makeup Magic” (18mins)
“Keep the Memories” (10mins)

In L.A. Link, Clarke’s intimate video processes are reimagined for a digital audience. Working in 1996, at the dawn of the Internet age and the impending digital revolution, Clarke and Renov’s collaborative work answers several questions far ahead of its time: Can computer-mediated face-to-face encounters provide a useful or meaningful avenue for human interaction? What are the character and limitations of such relationships? Can people create collaboratively in such circumstances? Collapsing the binary between distance and intimacy, L.A. Link proposes digital communication as deeply personal, a proposal only realized by technology in the decades to come.

This program also contains “Keep the Memories” and a selection from “Makeup Magic” that serves as a cinematic link between Shirley and Wendy Clarke with some of their earliest, most candid collaborations.
