Christine Kozlov

 

Developing an MA thesis on the conceptual artist Christine Kozlov (1945 - 2005). Broad questions include: how might art reliant on technology fall out of ‘use?’ Does this change the temporality of a piece, if it is designed to continue to be activated over a long period of time? When technology changes, should we try to intervene, or should these artworks be allowed to fall into the past?
