Ranging from collaborative documentaries to video art, Norman Cowie's work interrogates the relations of power and domination in contemporary society and seeks to complicate the ways in which meaning and consent are constructed through the media. Cowie's videotapes often use the techniques of documentary, off-air appropriation, and short form sound and text collage.
Currently a video producer and a professor of media theory and production, Cowie has been drawn towards media literacy as an activist and pedagogical tool.
