Space, Land, and Time is the first film to consider the work of the 1970s architecture collective Ant Farm, best known for Cadillac 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. This event is sponsored by the Architecture PAC. Snacks will be provided!

The group Ant Farm created a radical architectural practice during the decade 1968- 1978.  This lecture revisits a number of those seminal works as well as presenting recent projects by Schreier and Lord in collaboration with architect Bruce Tomb.  Ant Farm Media Van v.08 [Time Capsule] stands as a project that both looks back to the 1970's as a video archive and forward to the future via a digital time capsule for the year 2030.  House of the Century, Cadillac Ranch, and Media Burn will be presented along with Convention City, 1976 which is currently in the exhibition "The Utopian Impulse: Buckminiter Fullr and the Bay Area" at SFMOMA in San Francisco.

Chip Lord is a media artist and Professor Emeritus in Film and Digital Media atU.C. Santa Cruz.  

Curtis Schreier is a Pterodactor, with the right wing in Architecture and left wing in Art.

A reception will precede the lecture.
