ELEMENTS OF OZ

Elements of Oz draws on one of the richest examples of escapist American entertainment, The Wizard of Oz, revels in the multiplicity of interpretations of this iconic example of popular culture, and examines how tens of thousands of people across the country (and across the globe) have made Oz their own. Through the use of YouTube tributes, a re-contextualization of the film, live stream video, and the incorporation of new technologies, Elements of Oz celebrates and deconstructs this incredibly rich cultural artifact.
