Taka Iimura, who has worked in film and video since the1960s, will present
his most recent works in multimedia, CD-ROMs, at Millennium, New York.
Iimura, who was called "an enigmatic, mysterious presence in the New York
avantgarde scene" by Jonas Mekas, director of Anthology Film Archives,
found CD-ROM as an exciting new media to combine text, graphics, as well as
video. The result is a multi-faced experiment linking the media freely
within the work. He will talk about the work.

The program:
"A I U E O NN Six Features", video,1993, 8min., color
"Interactive: A I U E O NN Six Features", CD-ROM,1998-99,(10min.), color
Digital work: Kazuhiro Asai and Tacora InterMedia. English  version:
William Thompson
"This is the game that Iimura plays, not only in the installation of the
same name, but also again with this CD-ROM. The 'difference' is for him an
example of multiculturalism, a connection of unity in diversity, in which
Iimura plays with the expressive and indicative function of a sign, in
sound and in image"  World Wide Video Festival, Amsterdam, 1998

"Observer/Observed", video,1975-98, 22min., b/w
"Observer/Observed, and Other Works of Video Semiology", CD-ROM, 1999,
(30min.), b/w
Co-produced with the Banff Centre for the Arts, Banff, Canada, and Euphonic
Inc.,Tokyo

"Iimura is at his best deconstructing and reconstructing the video
apparatus. Elemental and elegant, these works confront issues of language
and semiotics  through forms of direct address. Incisively presented, this
CD-ROM offers a new generation access to classic works of video art and
theory"
  Peter d'Agostino, professor of media arts, Temple University, Philadelphia.
