Digital media artist and activist Joseph DeLappe discusses his work at the Museum of Modern Art. DeLappe has worked in new media since 1983, and in online, computer-game-based interventionist performance art since 2001. His recent projects include dead-in-iraq (2007), wherein he enters the name of each American military casualty from the war in Iraq into the popular U.S. government--funded "America's Army" computer game; and The Salt Satyagraha Online: Gandhi's March to Dandi in Second Life (2008), for which he created a "mixed-reality" durational performance utilizing a converted exercise treadmill to reenact Mahatma Gandhi's 1930 Salt March. DeLappe discusses his continuing projects at the intersection of art and activism. Special thanks to the Museum of Modern Art for providing this recording.
