Photographer and filmmaker Ari Marcopoulos is showing a new film called Detroit at the Whitney Biennial 2010, February 25 - May 30, 2010.
Says New York Magazine journalist Jerry Saltz: "After seeing Ari Marcopoulos’s intense video in which two young kids make electronic music in their tiny Detroit bedroom, I left the museum with a giant burst of happiness for the infinite creativity of America."
Here is a short film in which Ari and curator Gary Carrion-Murayari play a round of virtual FIFA 10 soccer in the artist's bedroom while blasting a track from Ari's lo-fi noise tape collection called “Nail Paint Mausoleum."
