The work for this installation was remixed from this piece: http://vimeo.com/16108422
Excerpt of a 2-channel video & sound piece (run by computer); the two video parts each & together address the seeming smallness of everyday living, and the seeming significance of such events as the passing of a 30th birthday, through exaggerated effects and interplay.

This ran as an installation in the 2010 Wisconsin Triennial at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art: http://mmocatri.org/2010/09/07/toby-kaufmann-buhler/
This is a remix (created at the Experimental Television Center in Owego, New York) of a 2007 piece, utilizing the ETC’s equipment to explore the video frame and bring out the performance aspects embedded in the material, especially involving how the body moves through the frame and the depicted landscape.
Original piece: http://vimeo.com/5531556
While in residency at the Experimental Television Center in October 2008, I set about exploring the relationships between sound, image and the different ways that the signal flow could be affected in syncing the two elements. This video is a result of that experimentation: using source video from the sound sculpture “Sound Garden” in Seattle, I “cut out” parts of the video image and inserted in tandem live video of myself playing the musical saw, along with an input from the “Wobulator” (the Paik-Abe Raster Scan Device, co-designed by Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe). The signals of these two inserted video elements are switched by the relative amplitude of the audio input from the saw performance.
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.
