I Was an iPhone Addict
Judy Fiskin shot 7000 iPhone photos in six months. She sorts them into categories (Cakes Within a Two Mile Radius of My House) while at the same time making an attempt to wrestle the glamorizing iPhone algorithms to the ground. It ends in a tie, at best.

Three Funerals and Some Acts of Preservation
The filmmaker tells the story of the two burials of Michelangelo, films the conservators at the Getty working on their sculpture collection in ways that you might not have imagined, and plans her own funeral, based on some that she's attended and others she's seen in movies.

What We Think About
When We Think About Ships
This video installation was commissioned by LACMALab at
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The artists were
asked to create an installation that used an object from
the museum’s collection and to address the theme
of “seeing” in a way that would be appropriate
for both children and adults.
In a small room that houses a 19th century marine painting,
viewers look into viewing slits and see the same tape loop:
A sailor repeatedly falls on his face toward the camera,
clearing the screen for a succession of unexpected representations
of ships – an outline of a tugboat drawn in glue,
then set on fire; a dozen toy sailboats sinking out of
sight in a bathtub while emitting small cries of distress;
an ice sculpture of a sailing ship slowly melting, and
so on.
Exhibited at LACMALab at the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art, November, 2001-August, 2002, Los Angeles, California.
1999
My Getty Center
This tape chronicles the winter of 1997, when El Nino and
the Getty Center came to Los Angeles at the same time,
generating a few rainstorms, a billion dollar cultural
complex, and an avalanche of hype. It is a tape about the
talk that surrounds things – the media hype around
new museum buildings and the weather, and especially the
talk around art.

Diary of a Midlife
Crisis
This is a serio-comic video diary about a middle-aged photographer
whose fear of moving the video camera is used as a comic
metaphor for her feeling of being creatively at a standstill.
The emotional climax comes when she executes her first
shaky pan. A meditation on art, aging, creativity and the
difference between stillness and motion.
