In the Media

Artist Alison Nguyen’s exhibition, “History as Hypnosis” - a video installation that “surfaces themes of alienation and assimilation through three narratives” - opens this weekend at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, reports Jenn Stanley for WBUR. “Nguyen’s work explores digital media’s psychological effects on the public,” writes Stanley, “reflecting on how images are produced, circulated and consumed in mainstream U.S. culture.”
