Caitlin Berrigan – Transfers (Clip) (2009, 8.7MB, 3:21)
Beautifully choreographed piece by Caitlin Berrigan.
The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff (2008, 54.1MB, 21:20)
The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard is a twenty
minute video about waste, recycling, corporations,
and sustainability. Even a radical like me finds it
occasionally heavy-handed, but then, this is serious
stuff. Nicely done, worth the twenty minutes you’d
otherwise spend watching crap TV, no?
Sam Renseiw – Belt Crossing
Belt Crossing (2009, 9.1MB, 1:04 min)
Absolutely exquisite 2009 Lumière from Sam Renseiw
Aleksandra Domanovic – La Biennale (Dictum Ac Factum)
La Biennale (Dictum Ac Factum) (2009, 63MB, 1:40 min)
Nicely made, kind of de Chirico-ish in its
sense-of-place-that-never-was & the way it
haunts you long after viewing, this piece from
Aleksandra Domanovic featured as part of the
Padiglione Internet of the 2009 Venice Biennale.
Oh –Dictum ac Factum – ‘No Sooner Said than Done’, apparently.
Two from Lewis LaCook
modern life (2005, 3.6MB, 3:13 min)
grass spider (2005, 6.1MB, 2:55 min)
2005 work from Lewis LaCook.
He seems to have dropped out of sight.
A shame, he made startling and splendid work in a number of media.
Update: I looked – he’s here and .
Good.
Timo Vaittinen – 3 Stop Motion Works
Breakblast (2008, 7.7MB, 1:01 min, silent)
Breakblast (2007, 4.9MB, 55 secs, silent)
Over the fence and here we go (2006, 4.4MB, 49 secs, silent)
Three stop motion pieces, economical &
elegant all, from Finnish artist Timo Vaittinen.
I like the (justified) confidence their silence
demonstrates.
LOMEG_ROM – Now Is Not 2009
LOMEG_ROM – Now Is Not 2009 (2009, 91.2MB, 26:28)
Absolutely stunning docu-voodle from 2010 by “b.k.” of Oslo’s
LOMEG_ROM (sadly, note the retrospectively rather
plaintive ‘we’ll soon be posting again’, dated 2010).
Just when you think fireworks are
overrated or that you’ve seen it all… I am endlessly
impressed with this duo’s ability to tease out the
nuances of space and time.
Locusts
Emergence – Locusts (2008, 233.8MB, 11:19)
From celebrated MC Invincible, a docu-music-video
about the history of gentrification and capitalism’s
destruction of communities in Detroit.
Video features several local activists, including
Grace Lee Boggs and (full disclosure) my good friend
Ron Scott.
This intense collaboration gives me chills every
time I watch it.
I’ll let the rest speak for itself.

‘helmet mounted’ cameras to create an archive of videos filmed
from the perspective of plants and animals.
