The Mouse Escapes [Trailer] (2010, 4MB, 37 secs)
Difficult to gauge from the trailer what the full 12 minute piece
might be like but it will clearly be interesting & atmospheric and guided
by an acute visual sense.
The music, written by director Mclennan, is also rather good.

I hadn’t realized that the splendid Lumière et Son project, which
we’ve raved about here before, was a time limited thing
but, sadly, yes & they’ve posted their last, which we repost here
above.
We’ve grabbed a few more, which we’ll post in the near future, but
do yourselves a favour and go & wallow in their site now…
Resurrection (after Bouts) (2007, 3.2 MB, 30 sec.)
“A non-interactive, animated recreation of the Resurrection scene
by Dieric Bouts from 1455 made using current game development
technology and visual styles.”
By Brody Condon.
Black or White, the Gravy Version (2010, 58 MB, 2:38 min.)
An outing, or perhaps more a forced march, for Michael Jackson’s
Black or White refracted through the prism of English
whimsy that is Edward Picot (well, on occasion; fans will know
his range is much, much broader) with co-conspirator Hoola Hoop Kid.
Never understood the Jackson appeal myself but this I like a great deal.
Wish, though, they’d called it ‘Black or White, the Gravy Mix‘.
2001: A Space Odyssey (2007, 30 MB, 14:34 min.)
The fair use trio: zach layton, matty ostrowski, luke dubois.
From zach layton industries.
Blown Away(2003, 3MB, 52 secs)
Mental Profiling (2003, 7MB, 2:15min)
The New Saint of Louisiana (2003, 4MB, 41 secs)
Three more from Patrick Lichty.
Again- hard to believe these were made seven long digital years* ago.
Not a lot to add, except I approve his taste for Tuvan throat singing.
*Digital years a bit like dog years, of course.
Trailer for ADN/ARN (2003, 8 MB, 4:04 min.)
“ADN/ARN was an interactive installation addressed to one person at the time,
filmed with 8 surveillance cameras, in which each visitor was invited to confide
and then contractually sell a personal secret. The initial system took place in
Lausanne at the Centre d’Arts sc
Blackball (2008, 10MB, 1:21 min)
God, I dislike this work! It’s the combination of the stellar
degree of smug self-congratulation with a faux experimentalism/pretension
to art similarly typified by the ludricous “creative” moniker
attached to exponents of advertising.
But..but..again – like some ads, not many, some – there’s
something to be learned here, especially from Beasting
which manages to be both deeply, Zoolanderishly, risible
(the branded underpants) but also generate a kind of deep,
myth-related frisson.
All the more vexing that somewhere here is real talent.
So…we hold our noses and post…
Enough! Six months, at least, before any more of this.
I’m going out for some air.
