In December 2013, Rob Perrée, author and art historian, visits de Appel Arts Centre to talk with us about his experiences with Talking Back to the Media. Talking Back to the Media was a manifestation that took place in Amsterdam during november 1985. It focussed on the media and its influence and how artist reacted to this influence. Rob Perrée helped organising the manifestation and curated the photography exhibition in Aorta. In our talk he tells us about the emancipation of the medium video, the lack of substance in contemporary art and the history of Time Based Arts. 'When I look back at Talking Back to the Media I remember it especially as a very important subject on which we worked with a group of people with like minds. I liked the process of realising more then the end result.'
