A five channel video work for public space, Generations, by Vagner Mendona Whitehead brings together videos made in roughly ten-year intervals, presenting two unintentional similarities 1998 and 2009, one intentional reaction to current times 2018, one reflection of a time past 1973-93, and one speculation of the future 2039. All videos present the same head-and-shoulder figure of the artist, as an antidote to our ever-present talking heads on video screens. Intended to be seen in a public space, Generations is displayed in chronological order left to right, 1973-2039, although viewers will encounter each video-channel randomly, depending on how they approach them, much like encountering someone at different points in their lives. This exhibition is part of NEoN Digital Arts Festival.
