During the 1980's he was the singer, songwriter and guitarist for the Toronto Punk Band The Government , who released several records and appeared in video work by Paterson as well as other Video Artist s. ''Controlled Environments'', from 1994 is one of his many works on video. Paterson's MONO LOGICAL is a series of seven Monologues , plus clips from his narrative and performance-based video works (from the early eighties up until the early nineties). These clips are presented in tandem with his shorter digital new-media works and his more recent Super-8 tone poems. Paterson’s media works, tapes, and films combine photographic tracking shots, montages of mediated found images, and voice-over discourses concerning urban space, global economics, and sexual possibilities. MONO LOGICAL plays on the tensions between language intended to be communicative and language that isn’t. An academic, student, poet, police officer, entrepreneur, musician, and cleric all either lecture or perform. Their theatrical trappings might beg their sincerity, but their orations are to be taken very seriously. MONO LOGICAL throws curve balls and suggest parallel U-turns. {Link without Title} Paterson is also the writer of numerous critical articles and co-editor of ''Money Value Art: State Funding, Free Markets, Big Pictures'', with Sally McKay . The book addresses the traditionally polar relationships between state subsidization and private sector competition relation to the arts. Other Media Works by Paterson include: Cash and Carry Etiquette [from Controlled Environments How Many Fingers? [1981 , The Headmaster's Ritual Snowjob [2001 , The Walking Philosopher and Who Killed Professor Wordsworth? [1990 . EXTERNAL LINKS
