Additional Information
Charming Mutt, The Hundred Videos
In 1990, Steve Reinke, a Toronto artist, embarked on the project he calls The Hundred Videos. The tapes are short, witty subversions of the "knowledge" available as social history in the memory bank of our culture, preserved, for instance, in footage from old films and television programs. Such resources retain their popular appeal, especially as outdated kitsch, but Reinke elaborates on, or transforms their messages by clever juxtapositions and voice-over commentary to create new discourses on scientific laws, social interaction, gender roles, and sexual identity.
