William Kentridge, one of the most important names in South African contemporary art, easily glides betweens media, in a combination of references and techniques that render his work unique. In this documentary, which follows him through Johannesburg and Brazil, he speaks of the impact of the landscape and social contradictions on his work, and comments on the life of characters like Felix Teitlebaum, his alter ego.
Tipping Point: Health Narratives from the South End
Venturing into new ground, ASPECT has created a new DVD documenting The Tipping Point: Health Narratives from the South End. This DVD follows four artists creating an interdisciplinary interactive artwork over two years.
In The Tipping Point, health narratives from artists living in the South End neighborhood of Boston become content for building an interactive sculptural installation. The complex relationships between body, health, self, and community are examined from a combined anthropological and artistic perspective.

The Amiga computer was launched in 1985 as an advanced personal and gaming computer. Many hobbyist computer programmers, graphic artists, and musicians took hold of this platform and created spectacular programs to show off their talent and the Amiga's capabilities. Over the past several decades, many talented individuals created amazing works of art unseen and unknown to the world outside the small Amiga computer and demo scene.
