Cut to Swipe, comprised primarily of recent acquisitions by the Department of Media and Performance Art, features works that appropriate and manipulate images and sound drawn from electronic media like television, cinema, the recording industry, and the Internet.

Ranging from Dara Birnbaum’s landmark installation PM Magazine (1982) and Rosetta Brooks's incendiary magazine ZG to recent works by Kevin Beasley, Ken Okiishi, Luther Price, James Richards, Hito Steyerl, and The Otolith Group in collaboration with Chris Marker, the exhibition highlights a range of responses to the quickly changing nature of images, and their proliferation through new imaging and distribution technologies.
