For over a decade, the Belgian artist David Claerbout has blended both still and moving images. His work has been shown in many prominent museums, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Fortunately, Cantabridgians don’t have to travel to Paris; a survey of his innovative work is currently on display at the List Visual Arts Center at MIT through April 6, 2008.

Sitting on the broad, cobblestoned (and mime-infested) plaza in front of it, it's not hard to imagine that the underground workings of the city itself have erupted upward. The Pompidou may be high tech, its exoskeleton may be a rationalist's grid, but it strikes a note of ferocious dislocations and forbidden disclosures that...
