Ericka Beckman at the Tate Modern

IMAGE GAMES: ERICKA BECKMAN

Saturday 28 September – Sunday 29 September 2013


Ericka Beckman is an American artist and filmmaker based in New York. Beginning her career in the 1970s alongside peers at CalArts, she is considered a key figure in the Pictures Generation. Beckman’s film and video works mark the rising influence and affect of video gaming, cybernetics and digital image-production on psychological development and social life. Her work has long experimented with how photography and the moving image might go beyond representation, how it can be used to manipulate human imagination and encode individual behaviour and group activity.
