Screening: Made in Hollywood

Bruce Yonemoto is a video and digital media installation artist, educator, writer, and curator, often collaborating with his brother, Norman. His work, which began in the mid-1970s, explores the impact of mass media on identity (sexual, ethnic, political), love, and the manipulation of audiences through TV, commercials, and melodramas. From 1976 to the late 1980s, his single-channel videos critiqued these media forms. Since 1989, his solo work has focused on experimental cinema and video art in the context of installation, photography, and sculpture. A strong proponent of integrating fine arts and media, Yonemoto’s work explores the intersection of art and commerce, the gallery world and television. He believes mass media composition now serves as a dominant force shaping human behavior.
