Here, he connected with other radical artists and, with J\u00f3zef Robakowski, Zbigniew Rybczynski and Ryszard Wasko, formed the Workshop of Film Form, which conducted multimedia experiments throughout the early 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Bruszewski\u2019s film and video works are effectively analytical investigations into the specific properties of each medium. His best-known film work is <em>YYAA<\/em>, in which changes in light exposure direct the soundtrack that is created by editing together a 3-minute long primal scream. Other works, like <em>Tea-Spoon<\/em>&nbsp;and <em>Match-Box<\/em>, also challenge the viewer by manipulating our expectations of synchronous sound and image. Much of Bruszewski\u2019s early work in video examines the immediate relationship between camera, monitor and viewer made possible by instant playback or live feed technology.<\/p>\n<p>The artist will be present to discuss the theories behind his works and screen examples of his pioneering films, videos and documentation of installations, plus the film performance <em>Points<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Wojciech Brusezewski was born in 1947 in Wroclaw, Poland.
