Song for the Untitled
Tommy Becker (in person) - 2011, 3:50, DV, San Francisco
This short poem is a celebration of the unknown. It embraces the often obscured unity presented to us by the twisting opposites of our fragile lives.
Tommy Becker attended the San Francisco Art Institute as an undergraduate before receiving his MFA in New Media Arts from California College of Arts in 2001 where he was awarded, The All College Honor Award”. A poet trapped in a camcorder, Becker continues to feed video poems into his never-ending saga, “TAPE NUMBER ONE”. Often Becker’s single channel works are translated to live performance. In 2005, he was awarded an artist in residency at Headlands Center for The Arts and included in the Bay Area Now at the Yerba Buena Center for The Arts. His work has been presented at White Columns, New York; Aurora Picture Show, Houston; PDX Film Festival, Portland and Hallwalls Media Contemporary Arts Center, Buffalo.
