I think Betty‘s works fit nicely in this exhibition. Kori Newkirk‘s piece kills.

“Imagine a kung fu flick in which the martial artists spout Situationist aphorisms about conquering alienation while decadent bureaucrats ply the ironies of a stalled revolution. This is what you’ll encounter in René Viénet‘s outrageous refashioning of a Chinese fisticuff film. An influential Situationist, Viénet stripped the soundtrack from a run-of-the-mill Hong Kong export and lathered on his own devastating dialogue. . . . A brilliant, acerbic and riotous critique of the failure of socialism in which the martial artists counter ideological blows with theoretical thrusts from Debord, Reich and others. . . . Viénet’s target is also the mechanism of cinema and how it serves ideology.”

He was the main technician working on the installation of Video: An Art, a History, 1965-2005, New Media Collection, Centre Pompidou, curated by Christine Van Assche, currently at MAC.
His site is brilliant. He openly offers ideas for professional audio/video installation.
