Simulacra
Simulacra (2004, 24MB, 7:06 min.)

‘Shot from within a gaming environment, Joseph Farbrook takes a critical look at games that we continuously play. Just as virtual-reality is a consensual hallucination, structures such as money, power, and ownership are also consensual dreams.’

Visualcut#1 (2006, 6.8MB, 1:15 min)

There seems to be a very lively experimental online video scene
in France. There’s lots of widely varying work but much of it seems to
be characterised by an enormous ‘confidence in the image’
& a concomitant richly visual & unbuttoned approach to dealing
with said image, free of conceptualist trammeling.
Anthony Rousseau’s work exemplifies these ( in my book at least) virtues.

stick like snakes (2005, 5.5MB, 1:54 min.)

Chapters 1,2,3 from the DVD ‘A Series of Practical Performances In The Wilderness’
by Cary Peppermint and Christine Nadir.
This is very smart work indeed – it references, or better evokes, ideas & precedents
& techniques from all over world culture high & low & I’m sure this is conscious.
The thing is, a bit like the effect of C5’s short history of virtual hiking,
featured here last year, the rather knowing formalism of it all & the dry
keep-your-distance wit ironically somehow create a space for a deeply traditional
romanticism about nature & the landscape to sneak back in.
Not a criticism. Me, I love it.
