Project Information
rantapod is a video meditation. It talks about art, politics and philosophy. It contains 3 minute rants or ruminations by G.H. Hovagimyan. It is highly experimental in it's discussion and outlook. Contrary to Post Modernism's simulation and irony this is a serious ongoing investigation. It strips away all artifice and presents a minimal/punk video discourse. The series is an outgrowth or continuation of GH's conceptual and network performance starting in the 1970's. It also refines and extends the concerns of his 21st century performances such as: Palm Rants and rant/ rant back/ back rant.
