- Summary
- Dumping Core is a multi-media blend of projection effects, multiple-channel video, and sound. Based on computer-generated imagery, the piece takes its title from the term for "the stop-motion of computer memory in its course of execution that is written out to a file for subsequent perusal or analysis." It examines the ramifications of such imagery, particularly with regard to the "corporatization of culture," the corporate desire to exploit new visual technology as a consciousness-channeling device. Bender critiques this new seductive methodology and champions the necessity to develop a critical language to counteract the exploitation of these new computer effects.
