Kristin Lucas's video sculptures debate the pros and cons of "interactivity" and the pervasiveness of media as culture.

The artist positions herself as both spectator and media spectacle in scripted performances; she uses video to record and add dimension to the complexity of her position as a woman in a technocratic society.

 

 
   

The sculptural elements of her installations are adaptations of household tools and toys, gutted and juiced-up with an assortment of electronic components.

In her performance at Momenta, Lucas presides as video jockey Lo$$Vegas, mixing sound bites from prerecorded VHS tapes with a live camera feed.

Kristin Lucas received a BA from Cooper Union for Advancement of Science and Art. Her videos have been screened in The Young and the Restless exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, NYC. Following her exhibition at Momenta, Lucas exhibited with numerous venues, including Artists Space, NYC, Dia Center for the Arts, NYC, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City, NY, and Jack Tilton Gallery, NYC. Her work was included in the 1997 Whitney Biennial, NYC.
