Edward Picot & Rachel – Moley’s adventures – Chapter 1
Chapter 1 (2009, 27.3MB, 4:49 min)
Edward Picot has made an intelligent and generous contribution to
the creation of a serious critical tradition around web based literature,
(although his interests are wide and by no means limited to the written word).
A lot of people, me included, have cause to be grateful to him for his
acute, measured but sympathetic assessments of their work.
Apart from his invaluable critical writing he’s also a writer and maker
of work himself.
One of the engines driving his recent creative work has been his
relationship with his young daughter Rachel.
His fantasy story The Puzzle Box,written for Rachel, was one of last year’s
delights.
Here he turns his hand to video in a more active collaboration with Rachel.
This is work that has its roots in a particularly English form of lo-fi
moving image storytelling (I know the late Oliver Postgate is a figure Edward greatly admires.)
Does it work? – in truth, not 100% – I think we feel we are trespassing slightly
on a very personal world. ‘Slightly’, though, is the operative word – there’s
something here, no doubt, & old fashioned as it may be in some
respects there’s something about the kind of adult child collaboration rendered
possible by the digital which is unlike anything previously -a kind of levelling
of the playing field…
Anyway, we’ll post all three episodes over the next weeks and allow you to
make your own minds up.
Voice by Cinzia Cremona
A performance to camera taken to its extreme with the power of digital editing,
Voice ignites a conflict between an object of desire and its uncomfortable voice.
Refusing to be passive, this female collapses the psychoanalytic good breast and
bad breast into a paradoxical creature that defies expectations. It is a witness to the
complexities of subjectivity and relationships – and of being in the world.

Regardless by Cinzia Cremona
Regardless (2007, 14MB, 3:37 min.)
A woman calls you from inside a monitor and asks you to touch her.
Yes, you. This call is for you. A presence in a box requests contact in
a game of vulnerability, seduction and power. It is a call for contact now,
but it is also a call to reflect on relationships, strength and weakness,
ethics. How do you respond to vulnerability? What do you offer?
What do you ask for? What do you take?
by Cinzia Cremona.

Solo Show takes the viewer on a short trip in a complicit game of art making.
The image overlaps the body of the viewer with that of the artist. As the frame
moves from place to place, formats and titles are recalled in an attempt to
uncover the dynamics of making meaning by calling things art.

Under Scan (2005, 31MB, 9:51 min.)
“Under Scan” is a public art installation based on self-representation.
Thousands of “video-portraits” taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton
and Nottingham are projected onto the ground; at first, the portraits are not
visible because the space is flooded by white light coming from a high-powered
projector. As people walk around the area, their shadows are cast on the ground,
revealing the video-portraits in short sequences.

Bram Crevits and Pall Thayer on Obama
Pall Thayer – Inaugurationanimation (2009, 300MB, 49:56)
As far as I know, none of us at DVblog have become
infected with Obamania. Doesn’t mean we don’t
appreciate the fine art of the remix or dig hope.
First, from Bram Crevits of Cinamatics,
Obama’s Berlin speech, composed entirely of video shot
on cell phones. Remember when the gaze was
given to us by the TV news? Now we give it back.
Second, from Pall Thayer, a silent
animation piece of the entire inauguration.
Free to download and remix as you like. We like.
Both of these pieces surprise and amaze me by the
amount of work they must have taken to compile.
Painstaking, no? Unless these gentlemen know
something I do not, these are labor-intensive pieces
in their own respective ways. Lovely and timely.

Opposition (2005, 4.5MB, 1 min.)
Interactive kinetic sculpture from Jonathan Schipper performed at Pierogi gallery in 2005.
“Two participants are taken from the audience and buckled into the saddles on either
end of the machine. The participants are then lifted into the air. Both participants are provided
hand controllers that allow them to control the movement of the saddles, which are on
pneumatically powered gimbals, and the central rotation of the machine. Some movements
are shared and some affect only one or the other of the two participants. The function of each
input button on the controllers is changed by a computer on a regular basis so that the
participants can not gain full control of the machine. A rock and roll band is playing electric
instruments near by. The amplification for the band is turned on by the machine while the
machine is in the air. The band members (Outside Man) wear helmets that isolate the band,
who can not hear anything other than their own sounds. After a few minutes the participants
are brought back to the ground and released from the machine. The band is turned off and
the machine is ready for the next cycle.”

“KontraKontrolle is a performance concept where we literally stepped into the
computer-screen. By placing ourselves as icons (via bluescreen technique) on
top of the presenters screen we could interact live with the presenter’s actions.”
