Online Artist Talk
with Basim Magdy and Thomas Thiel
In the video work “New Acid” by Basim Magdy (*1977 in Egypt) a variety of animal species communicate via text message. The surreal narrative is steeped in dark humor; its digital chats superimposed over a montage of 16mm film material override usual structures and designs for society.
Access to the online artist talk (in English) is available via the Zoom app. You can download the app on your phone or join via computer. The app will guide you through the steps necessary.
