IMDA Graduate Student Jon Routson in the New York Times
Imaging and Digital Arts graduate student and video artist Jon Routson was mentioned in an August 17 New York Times article on artist Matthew Barney. Greg Allen writes, "And a young Baltimore video artist, Jon Routson, whose work explores bootlegging itself, has tackled Matthew Barney's work head-on. In April at New York's Team Gallery, Mr. Routson showed his "made for TV" version of 'Cremaster 4.' He cut a grainy VHS bootleg of Mr. Barney's 45-minute film down to 22 minutes, dropped in actual commercials, compressed the end credits and even floated ABC's logo inthe lower corner of the screen. The result: a hilarious, smart, and brazen work, which drew critical praise and which may be a sign of things to come."
