SPACE, LAND, AND TIME: UNDERGROUND ADVENTURES WITH ANT FARM

Space, Land, and Time is the first film to consider the work of the 1970s architecture collectiveÂ Ant Farm, best known forCadillac Ranch. Radical architects, video pioneers, and mordantly funny cultural commentators, the Ant Farmers created a body of deeply subversive multidisciplinary work predicted much of the technology we take for granted today. Incorporating archival video, new footage, and animation based on zany period sketches, this film is about the joy of creation in a time when there were no limits. (2010, 78 min. Dirs:Â Laura Harrison andÂ Beth Federici)

A discussion with Ant Farmâ€™sÂ Chip Lord will follow the screening.

The place where I learned my firsts about sustainability AND production in an artistic setting, Rice Univeristy, is building a new LEED certified residential Hall. While Duncan hall will never have the same history as the ol’ Will Rice College, I’m excited to see Rice on this path!
