Chip Lord is a pioneering video artist and founding member of the Bay Area media collective Ant Farm. Chip Lord grew up in 1950 s America, a place that has been a continual source of inspiration in his work as an artist. Trained as an architect, he was a founding partner of Ant Farm, with whom he produced the video art classics Media Burn and The Eternal Frame as well as the public sculpture, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas, and the House of the Century, outside Houston, Texas. His work blends documentary and experimental practice and moves between video, photography and installation. He often collaborates with other artists. Ant Farm Media Van v.08 [Time Capsule] a collaboration with Curtis Schreier and Bruce Tomb, revisits Ant Farm s 1970 Media Van and brings it into the 21st Century. The installation posits a post-internal combustion vehicle as a space for networking around a Media Huqquh and in the process creates a digital time capsule. It was shown at Pioneer Works, Brooklyn, 2016 (catalog available). An abiding interest in the culture of transportation systems inspired The Executive Air Traveler, 1980, a photo series, Airspaces, 2000 2011 and To & From LAX, a public video installation in 2010. Lord authored Automerica for E.P. Dutton in 1977 and the car as subject also "drives" MOTORIST, Easy Living, and The New Cars, 2012.

Arts + Design Wednesdays: Experiment and Exploration

In order better to serve our students and public and to gauge audience, we will now ask you to reserve a your seats in advance. Seats will be made available 10 days in advance of the talks on this website, social media platforms, and in the newsletters.

This series explores the exciting world of the Bay Area’s alternative, underground, and experimental media arts communities and the ways they have transformed contemporary art and media culture. Led by UC Berkeley Associate Professor of Film and Media Jeffrey Skoller, the series engages prominent media artists, curators, and critics to explore the idea of experimentalism in art as a risk-taking approach to creative expression and as a philosophical position that emphasizes art as process and invention over product and professional mastery.

Arts + Design Wednesdays @ BAMPFA is organized and sponsored by UC Berkeley’s Arts + Design Initiative in partnership with Big Ideas courses. In-kind support is provided by BAMPFA.
