Ronald Nameth has been working with film, electronics, video, and digital media from the 1960s until today. In addition to Warhol, Nameth has collaborated with several key figures in the arts including musical innovators John Cage and Terry Riley, photographers Aaron Siskand and Art Sinsabauagh, as well as many other artists and performers. In this interview with bauhaus imaginista he recalls how the New Bauhaus method of teaching allowed him to explore the nature of various media to better understand the medium itself and its creative potentials.

Im erkenntnistheoretischen Kontext einer fundamentalen Skepsis gegenüber dem herrschenden Wissenssystem strebte die Bauhausschule ein “Verlernen” an: Sie verwarf das konventionelle Lernen und propagierte stattdessen vorsprachliche, intuitive Zugänge. Es ging insofern nicht lediglich um neue Lernformen, sondern um einen vollkommen anderen Zugang zum Wissenserwerb.
