John Whitney’s demo reel of work created with his analog computer/film camera magic machine he built from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. Also Whitney and the techniques he developed with this machine were what inspired Douglas Trumbull (special fx wizard) to use the slit scan technique on 2001: A Space Odyssey.

A project about ownership, piracy, and brave new media from my favorite US art gallery, The Art Gallery of Knoxville.

A pirate screening of Battle Royale, ohhh yeah.

Jack Goldstein (1945–2003)

“The Jump, 1978, is a silent twenty-six-second loop projected on a fuchsia-colored wall illuminated by black lights. Using editing effects, Goldstein transformed a high diver, jumping into an amorphous deep purple space, into an incorporeal constellation of Technicolor stars. The strenuously exerted body of Goldstein’s early performative films has been completely recast by technology as an image: a burst of graceful, highly regulated, firework like light. The Jump was the last of Goldstein’s early films, and it is a fitting swan song to an era when the body was still considered a viable site of resistance.”

Thanks Kathy

It just doesn’t get any creepier.
