3. ICE-Vision: Shulie
Thursday, October 16 at 8:00 PM
ICE Room, Tanner Building Room 101
All are welcome this Thursday for ICE-Vision, a series of informal video screening in the ICE Room.
This The semester's ICE-Vision series is curated by Micki Davis, a BFA candidate in the Lamar
Dodd School of Art. This week's selection is "Shulie" (1997, 37 minutes).
"A cinematic doppelganger without precedent, Elisabeth Subrin's Shulie uncannily and systemically
bends time and cinematic code alike, projecting the viewer 30 years into the past to rediscover a
woman out of time and a time out of joint—and in Subrin's words, 'to investigate the mythos and
residue of the late 60s.' Staging an extended act of homage, as well as a playful, provocative
confounding of filmic propriety, Subrin and her creative collaborator Kim Soss resurrect a little-
known 1967 documentary portrait of a young Chicago art student, who a few years later would
become a notable figure in Second Wave feminism, and author of the radical 1970 manifesto, The
Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution. Reflecting on her life and times, Shulie
functions as a prism for refracting questions of gender, race and class that resonate in our era as
in hers, while through painstaking mediation, Subrin makes manifest the eternal return of film." —

What is LEA?
Established in 1993, Leonardo Electronic Almanac (ISSN No: 1071-4391) is
the electronic arm of the pioneer art journal, Leonardo - Journal of Art,
Science & Technology.
Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA), jointly produced by Leonardo, the
International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (ISAST), and
published by MIT Press, is an electronic journal dedicated to providing a
forum for those who are interested in the realm where art, science and
technology converge.
For over a decade, LEA has thrived as an international peer reviewed
electronic journal and web archive covering the interaction of the arts,
sciences, and technology. On average 5 - 10% of manuscripts received are
eventually published. LEA emphasizes rapid publication of recent work and
critical discussion on topics of current excitement with a slant on
shorter, less academic texts. Many contributors are younger scholars,
artists, scientists, educators and developers of new technological
resources in the media arts.
Contents include profiles of media arts facilities and projects, insights
of artists using new media and feature articles comprising theoretical and
technical perspectives. Curated galleries of current new media artwork are
also a regular feature, and occasionally, LEA publishes special issues on
topics such as locative media, new media poetics, and wild nature and the
digital life.
