Balkan Mediations (Quebec, 2002)
http://www.pomgrenade.org/
Balkan Mediations stems out of the many questions raised for North Americans
by the 1999 NATO bombing of Kosovo and Yugoslavia in our current age
of perpetual mediatised wars. Balkan Mediations takes the ironies of
todays intimate links between media and military technologies
as its point of creative intervention, examining the incongruities and
brutalities of a context in which, to paraphrase Bob Ostertag, we now
use the same tools to play, create media, and kill.
Biography
pomgrenade has been active in experimental and documentary film and
video production, community radio and sound, and all around media jamming
and shit-disturbing since the past ten years. In her spare time, she
pursues graduate work in media and communication studies, where she
researches and publishes on the relationship between current media representations
of immigration and the increasingly racist and exclusionary nature of
Canadian immigration policy.
