Subititled Some Works with Sound Waves, Some Works with Light Waves and Some Other Experimental Works, artist Rodney Graham created these tracks for the the sex scene in the film Zabriskie Point (1970) about which he writes: (the film) intended to deconstruct the American consumer society and the student movement, was, by all accounts, the bomb that almost sunk Michelangelo Antonioni's film career, but the pop music soundtrack became famous and the film contained, in the climactic scene with the exploding desert house, the blueprint for subsequent MTV-style music videos - which may or may not be a good thing.
Rodney Graham was born in Matsqui, British Columbia, in 1949. He studied art history and his art has been included in numerous important international exhibitions. His piece Vexation Island represented Canada at the Venice Biennale in 1997. (22 minutes)
