Submarine ChannelWay back when film was recorded on tape and digital avant-garde alluded to a Casio calculator watch, a French luminary called Michel Auder started filming his life and his surroundings with his Sony Portapack. Being French and poetic he soon found himself hobnobbing with the likes of Philip Glass and Andy Warhol, and finally filtered into New York’s high-brow art scene during the 1980s. Twenty years on, he’s loved and respected the world over, as trailblazer supreme of the digital video medium. And right about now, he has a three-pronged retrospective show across New York with a cool name “Keeping Busy: An Inaccurate Survey”.
