Last man a mind-boggler
The Edmonton Sunday Sun, Oct. 12, 1986
Graham Hicks wittily comments on the performance-video work of Alan Bridle. Using pre-recorded scenes and characters that manifest on twelve video screens, the artist takes on a live persona, Adair, who "zaps his companions to video deaths". Hicks interprets Bridle's polysemic multimedia work as an attack on the senses, as well as criticism on the blurring definitions of technologically-mediated experience and reality.
