“The character with the large false nose & moustache, represents the stereotyped
image that Russians have of Georgians – loud, speaking with a heavy accent and
with much hand waving. Nonetheless this image represents something serious which
can’t be seen from afar.”
thanks Genia.
High and Dry – Music from Tucson, Arizona
1Z0-803
High and Dry Trailer (2003, 8.6MB, 1:53 min.)
Trailer for what looks like a really neat film about the Tucson music scene.
Main attraction of this trailer for me is that it features the God-like genius of Howe Gelb.
but I’m sure it has other merits too.
The Human Browser – Christopher Bruno
The Human Browser (2006, 29.7MB, 8:18 min)
Documentation recorded at last year’s transmediale in Berlin
of a quite marvellous project by Christopher Bruno which
just won the share festival & most deservedly too.
It’s a fantastic blend of technology, performance & a kind of ‘information poetry’.
In many hands it could have been smart but dullish, but this is joyous stuff.
There’s a whole load of videos up on the human browser site
& they all have their particular delights.
Bruno’s short project description goes:
Human Browser is a series of wireless Internet performances
based on a Wi-Fi Google hack.
Thanks to its headset, the actor hears a text-to-speech
audio that comes directly from the Internet in real-time.
The actor repeats the text as he hears it.
The textual flow is actually fetched by a program
(set up on a Wi-Fi laptop) that hijacks Google,
diverting it from its utilitarian functions.
Depending on the context in which the actor is,
keywords are sent to the program and used as
search strings in Google (thanks to a Wi-Fi PDA)
so that the content of the textual flow is always
related to the context.
The performer in this video is Manon Kahle.
A good deal of the charm of this project
is due to the “performances” of the actors which are
highly professional but also very human too.
.
Great stuff!
