Join us in congratulating Lee Noble ’20 on completing his Thesis Review!

From Noble’s statement: “‘LOL’ is a multi-channel video and audio installation which, like everything that originated on the internet, has transmuted and fractured into different forms —at the moment: a website. Inspired by actual events involving a political assassination at an airport, ‘LOL’ functions as a meditation on surveillance, voyeurism, and the mediation of information. Its images have been copied and distilled through layers of the internet, and then recreated and transmogrified as they filtered through my process of examination. Borrowing the language and forms of cinema as its initial substrate, the work finally ignores primary characteristics of that medium by deemphasizing narrative, shooting “around” its main subject of political violence, and breaking away from the single channel. Vignettes were sourced from factual journalism, private social media content made public, tabloid speculation, and personal associations equally.”
