Beginning June 1st, attendees can bone up on Lynn Hershman Leeson's early period with <a href="http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/film/FN16982">an eight-hour marathon</a> of her experimental videos made from 1977-94, view Jim Campbell's wall-sized <a href="http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/exhibition/jim_campbell">Home Movies</a> (2006-Present), which depicts images from found family films via the barely-legible resolution of an LED curtain, or contemplate counter-surveillance with artist Trevor Paglan's <a href="http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/exhibition/225">The Other Night Sky</a> (2007), a science-museum-style installation plotting the locations of spy satellites. Bay Area artist Scott Snibbe's <a href="http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/exhibition/scott_snibbe">Falling Girl</a> (2008) will appear on the outside of the Berkeley Art Museum building, a silhouette animation depicting the dreamily slow descent of a girl from a skyscraper. Other events include a two-day symposium with artists and academics, and Black Cloud / Red Eye, an immersive alternative reality game by Greg Niemeyer. - Ed Halter</p>
