THE LAND BEHIND

New video I made for http://www.safari.spamm.fr/

Music / Roger Tellier-Craig
Video+sound editing / Sabrina Ratté

Travel on an undefined territory where the illusion of a continuous tracking shot emphasizes an unreachable destination. Through the syncopated editing and multiple transitions, images of the area themselves become traveling entities, creating confusion on the level of the depicted space as much as with the level of its temporality.

Very beautiful 3D effects done with the LZX Visionary System!

INSIDE / VAN MCELWEE

1986 - Dream and architecture merge in this work. A large mall is extended into an endless tunnel, which is then revealed to be a unit in a honeycomb of similar spaces.

SONIA LANDY SHERIDAN

Through her art, Sonia Landy Sheridan has investigated the inner landscape of her own intensely creative, and often playful, intelligence. Sheridan is known for her work with the new forms of technology that sparked the late-twentieth-century communications revolution as well as her experience as both an inspiring teacher and artist-in-residence at the 3M Company. Source of this text http://hoodmuseum.dartmouth.edu/exhibitions/2009soniasheridan/

This 1968 short shows some of the ways that Bell Laboratories scientists used computers in communications research. The film contains sequences of computer-generated movies, photographs, music and speech. The entire score and main title and credits of the film were produced on a computer - which seems like nothing today, as every film and video in modern production makes its way through a machine - but at the time this was radically early for computer graphics and music.

This film specifically documents the output of an early text-to-speech program. Cecil Coker worked on this project, which is an articulatory synthesis program.

(Film by Ken Knowlton)
NOTE: The film is silent, but still great. This film explains how the computer scientists and mathematicians at Bell Labs created early computer graphics films, like most (though not all) of these films, made by Bell Labs employees E.E. Zajac, A. Michael Noll, Ken Knowlton, Frank Sinden, and many others. A Computer Technique..., from 1964, gives the basics on the process, from Ken Knowlton's BEFLIX programming language for a raster-scan (bitmap) output, to the hardware details (IBM 7094 mainframe, Stromberg-Carlson 4020 microfilm printer).

52 PICK-UP VIDEOS

After a year break, I decided to get involved again in this project called 52 Pick-Up Videos. Initiated by Dayna Mcleod, the project challenges participants to produce a video per week for a whole year and to publish it on the website. This is the best way I found so far to keep me disciplined about my personal work and it really helps me to keep moving, no matter if it's forward, backward, sideward. 

Here is week 1, http://www.52pickupvideos.com/HTML/Ratte_y3_Week1.html
