Dirty Power
by Robert Lurye
🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 1990
In 1990, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Dirty Power” by Robert Lurye (Computer Animation) with an Award of Distinction.
”Dirty Power“ is a work of personal expression which is in reaction to living in the age of the fatal disease AIDS. The work has obvious and ambiguous meanings which respond to events in my private and public life caused by our sexual-social crisis.
