I have formed another collective which I have set up on art+culture and will be posting more and more there.

Paradise Paradisio is an artistic actors collective formed to explore narrative, image, film and new modes of recording in the nether spaces of presence and being in the performative and distributive now.
I have also been teaching a course called art and invention, which has been very interesting to work into this notion of art as creating the event of its possibility and to work making things from this place and to affirm and make possible anything in this place and know its art.
I also have put up a good number of video and film projects on youtube which you can find here http://www.youtube.com/user/marclafia

I spent the last several months working on a video
installation for the REX architecture firm whch is desribed
under, 'Oldham'. As well, I have begun various works for my
Atlas project, mapping new worlds. I am also teaching at
Pratt, and preparing new works for F4, The Desktop
Photograhy Collective started this summer.


This December Smack Mellon Multiplex in Dumbo presents
‘Legal Aliens’: Changing Territories, Shifting Identities, Moving
Images’, curated by Ofri Cnaani and Rotem Ruff. This third
incarnation of Multiplex – Smack Mellon's annual video
exhibition revisioning the modern Cineplex--transforms the
gallery into a multi-theater cinema space featuring the work
of eleven artists from around the world. One of the works
shown will be ‘Sing to Me and Tell Me Your Story’, made with
fellow artist Dana Levy. For the project over 50 people from
35 different countries, living in Tel Aviv, Israel, were invited to
sing a song from their homeland. The result is a multilingual
multi-channel video collage, which by grouping the
idiosyncratic experiences of the dispersed, unconnected
immigrants, points to a potential for their political
empowerment and self-assertion through song. The Exhibition
dates are December 2, 2006 to January 14, 2007.

This July I will be showing a great number of films composed
as an ensemble at MonkeyTown, which is a four-screen large
projection venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In March my
commissioned work for the Tate Modern and the Whitney
Museum on the film, 'The Battle of Algiers' went live. It can be
seen both at the Whitney ArtPort and at the Tate online. It
opened at the Node Festival, which happened throughout
London during the same month. As well in March I showed
early computational films as well as the work 'Place of
Memory' at the Pratt Museum in Manhattan, which opened
March 16.
