A CYBERNETIC ROMANCE

"I discovered the power of single graphic images while working with my longer video pieces. Stopping the action reveals frames far more beautiful still than in motion." - Nam June Paik, A Cybernetic Romance, 1989

Pour une raison que je ne peux encore expliquer, je documente presque frénétiquement toutes mes expérimentations vidéos, même celles qui ne prendront jamais une forme définie. Il me semble que les mouvements aléatoires des images créent des possibilités de compositions impossibles à prévoir, et qui sont souvent plus intéressantes à regarder lorsqu'elles sont figées. J'ai donc commencé un blog, une sorte de banque d'images tirées de mes vidéos, qui marque ces étapes vers la réalisation d'un résultat final ou non. On peut y jeter un coup d'oeil ici.

J'ai été confirmée dans mes impulsions lorsque je suis tombée sur cette citation de Nam June Paik tirée du livre A Cybernetic Romance, 1989, sur le blog PAINTED, ETC. (J'ai aussi commandé le livre, qui en plus d'un texte d'introduction de Nam June Paik, semble contenir des images surprenantes de Laurence M. Gartel.)

NOTE

MONDES PARALLÈLES

Buildings are expensive, but paper is cheap. The most interesting project may not be the one that was built. RNDRD wants to give these unseen works and forgotten trends a presence on the internet.

DIGITAL ART MUSEUM

Je me suis limitée à ne choisir qu'une seule image pour les artistes que je trouvais les plus intéressants, mais ça vaut la peine d'aller jeter un coup d'oeil sur ce site http://digitalartmuseum.org/artists/index.htm pour plus d'images et plus d'informations.

"[DAM] is an on-line museum with a comprehensive exhibition of Digital Art supported by a wide range of background information including biographies, articles, a bibliography and interviews."

Erkki Kurenniemi, DIMI Ballet

Je viens de voir que cette vidéo, extra sur le dvd d'un documentaire sur Erkki Kurenniemi (et qui pour moi est littéralement une obsession) existe sur youtube. On peut aussi télécharger une version de meilleure qualité sur THE SOUND OF EYE ainsi qu'un peu d'informations supplémentaires.

STEINA AND WOODY VASULKA

"In their early collaborative work, the Vasulkas examined the electronic nature of video and sound, developing specialized imaging tools and strategies while also using the medium to document the city's expanding underground culture. "We were interested in certain decadent aspects of America, the phenomena of the time—underground rock and roll, homosexual theater, and the rest of the illegitimate culture. In the same way, we were curious about more puritanical concepts of art inspired by [Marshall] McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller. It seemed a strange and unified front—against the establishment."

INNERGAZE - CHANGE IT UP

Je viens tout juste de terminer cette vidéo pour le groupe Innergaze. Inspirée de John Whitney, de la vidéo de démonstration du Rutt-Etra, et probablement de tout ce qui se trouve sur ce blog...

FLOATING INTO SPACE

Un condensé d'images ramassées un peu partout dans les derniers mois s'est retrouvé dans une projection live pour un vernissage au Centre Canadien d'Architecture mardi dernier. Cet assemblage complètement surréaliste pousse un peu mes limites visuelles, qui semblent vouloir se diriger de plus en plus vers un mélange d'images hétéroclites. J'en ai donc profité pour pousser un peu plus loin l'idée et ajouter des tests de "green screen" que j'ai fait avec mon chat. Ainsi, Giallo fait maintenant parti de mon univers visuel.

Cette vidéo. qui est mon 52 pickup de la semaine, est en quelque sorte un résumé de mes expérimentations des derniers mois.

COLOR CONTROL

“I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium. Video for me is a way of configuring light, just as painting is a way of configuring paint….I’ve always said that the most important control on your TV is the color control; it’s usually a much bigger difference than changing the channel.”

-Brian Eno

SOLARIS - STANISLAW LEM

We take off to the cosmos, ready for anything: for solitude, for hardship, for exhaustion, death. Modesty forbids us to say no, but there are times when we think pretty well of ourselves. And yet, if we examine it more closely, our enthusiasm turns out to be all sham. We don't want to conquer the cosmos, we simply want to extend the boundaries of Earth to the frontiers of the cosmos. For us, such and such a planet is as arid as the Sahara, another as frozen as the North Pole, yet another as lush as the Amazon basin. We are humanitarian and chivalrous; we don't want to enslave other races, we simply want to bequeath them our values and take over their heritage in exchange. We think of ourselves as the Knights of the Holy Contact. This is another lie. We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We are searching for an ideal image of our own world: we go in quest of a planet, of a civilization superior to our own but developed on the basis of a prototype of our primeval past. At the same time, there is something inside us which we don't like to face up to, from which we try to protect ourselves, but which nevertheless remains, since we don't leave Earth in a state of primal innocence. We arrive here as we are in reality, and when the page is turned and that reality is revealed to us - that part of our reality which we would prefer to pass over in silence - then we don't like it anymore.

Electronic Visualization Event (EVE II)

RYRAL is a realtime audio video performance by Tom DeFanti (creating computer animation with the GRaphics Symbiosis System or GRASS), Phil Morton ("up in the kitchen keepin' track"), Dan Sandin (processing video with a Sandin Image Processor), Bob Snyder (performing experimental electronic music on an analog EMU synthesizer) and an uncredited dancer. This Media Art project was created and performed in April 1976 at the second Electronic Visualization Event (EVE II) in Chicago. EVE II took place at The University of Illinois Chicago.
