Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Paul Pfeiffer, from the "Time" episode in Season 2 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Time" premiered in September 2003 on PBS.

Courtside at a San Antonio Spurs NBA game, Paul Pfeiffer remarks “I’m really attracted to images of amazing spectacle.” Both Pfeiffer’s sensibility and his technique are products of contemporary culture as he pulls video of sports events, pageants, and newscasts off television and then digitally manipulates the images to comment on the frenetic pace and dehumanizing qualities of a consumption-oriented, media-driven culture.

Paul Pfeiffer was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1966 but spent most of his childhood in the Philippines. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/paul-pfeiffer/
