DOMINIK BARBIER // ORAGE // 1983

Recherche de paysages synthétiques à partir de trucages simples sur la matière vidéo (la neige, les parasites) et l'utilisation plus complexe du synthétiseur Spectre selon deux axes : le mou et le dur. Espaces traditionnels de la contemplation, le désert, la mer, le ciel sont ici le support d'une fiction ouverte, message d'espoir ou de désespoir.

STEVO WOLFSON - SYNOID (1983)

Pure video feedback with no special effects or processing of any kind, although the completed video has a few edits. The patterns were changed by slightly adjusting the camera aperture and focus.

The audio was created with various analog synthesizers configured to produce oscillating sequences and were not modified or altered during recording.

JEAN PICHÉ & JoAnn GILLERMAN - "Whispers in a Plane of Light" - 1983

"Whispers" must be one of the earliest interactive videomusic works on record. A Fairlight CMI sampling computer was used to perform the music and control a Sandin Image Processor through a 16 channel analog control interface.

VIBEKE SORENSEN

Vibeke Sorensen working on 'S'electrons' (1978)

I've already posted videos under the name of Dean Winkler, who often collaborated with Tom DeWitt and Vibeke Sorensen. I just stumbled upon Vibeke Sorensen's website, and discovered more (really cool) videos from them, and way more about Sorensen's work... She also composed some very nice music for the videos. It's worth to give a look at her website for other videos (this one is quite nice Temple), stereoscopic images, and a more detailed bio...

Vibeke Sorensen is an artist working in experimental new media, including computer graphics and animation. From her early work with hybrid video synthesizers in the 1970s, through her long engagement with three-dimensional computer graphics, to her internet based pieces and architectural installations, she has created a series of prints, films, videotapes, and interactive works while also experimenting with and contributing to the development of new systems and methods.

FROM HERE I CAME TO PLANET EARTH

LAURENCE M. GARTEL

The birth of Gartel's career as an artist can be pinpointed to 1976 at the Media Study in Buffalo, a center for experimental video. That year represents a watershed in his development as he worked alongside Nam June Paik, the father of video art. At that time, Gartel set his goal to make stills from video - the opposite of what was being done at the center - and the step to the computer screen was swift.
His processes vary but he usually starts with the camera image. Basically he uses a special printer with a built-in scanner, inserts photos into the computer system, merges them, photographs the new multilayered video images, and then enlarges them, sometimes to forty by fifty inches. And that is only the beginning. (...) Every new device means more fun for Laurence.
