from the sublime to the ridiculous
A video by Jen Cohen
2010, TRT: 4:32 min.
This video is a recontextualization of VHS footage shot by my father during the year 1984. He had just purchased his first VHS camcorder for the purposes of creating a documentary series called National Treasures where my mother and father would interview some of their quasi-famous/intellectual friends about their lives. Nothing ever came of this project; my parents separated in 1990 and the 50+ VHS tapes containing over 200 hours of material have been tucked away in a box in a storage facility for the last 20 years.
My working with the footage began a year ago when my mother asked me to digitally archive all of the tapes for her. She remarked that she wanted to see herself during her “prime, ” when she was still young and beautiful.
The catalyst for my treatment of the video footage began with the process of exporting still frames…

Clemens Wirth & Radium Audio presents:
Micro Empire
...moving on from Macro Kingdom, we pass through the portal of a microscope to venture into the Micro Empire ... surrounding us … inhabiting us …
Stranger than fiction… molecular conflict and mitochondrial warfare … a heartstopping, subcellular epic … a truly microcinematic experience …
“as an enthusiast for little things, I wanted to go deeper than the macro universe, so I found myself hanging on the eyepiece of a microscope. The real challenge was definitely the small depth of field in microscopy. It’s really fascinating how detailed this tiny world is.”

Max Hattler (visuals) + Vesper On (audio)
Live performance at European Media Art Festival (EMAF), Osnabrück, Germany, Sat 21 Apr 2012.
"Together with the Barcelona-based Game Boy music artist Vesper On, Max Hattler will present a proto-infographic live performance. It will be loud, colourful and absolutely entertaining – prepare to be amazed!" EMAF News
In this audiovisual performance I play physical controllers which change parameters of both audio and video synthesis. The audio is made by means of digital feedback in a computer. The video is the result of analysis of the audio. In the video I explode and multiply simple geometric shapes like spheres and cylinders w/ the analysis data taken from the audio.
All this is realtime.
Ideally projected using three projectors w/ a minimum of 10000 ANSI Lumen at 1920x1080 adding up to 5760x1080 all in all.
For purposes of demonstration this file is presented in 1280x512.
New up!

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
