Lee Walton

Often regarded as an Experientialist, Walton's work takes many forms- from drawings on paper, game/system based structures, video, web-based performances, public projects, theatrical orchestrations and more.


Here are one or two of his video pieces. I really enjoyed some of his work, such as the exhibition/performance piece where a girl shows her diary work and talks about her past memories (i think that's what happened...there is no video for this piece) I also liked the piece where he did a series of video pieces with school students, where they listened to their favourite songs, or recorded how each of them answer on the phone etc. I also really liked the performance piece where a woman carrying alot of different files and folders and books, drops them purposefully, and the video piece captures all the people who go to help her, I thought this was a really nice way of interacting with the public.
