Instant conductors : Tpada (40.3MB, 4:19 secs)
A piece by Brian Gibson which captures you with
its trance like visuals and experimental audio.
Instant conductors : tpada is part of a full length
album project created with a video camera to capture visuals
and audio then assembling them into a stunning form of art.
Using a range of different camera angles focused in on areas
from where the musical source is created, this forms an explosion
of creativity manifesting as hybrid song/video.
If you’re intrigued by this clip it’s well worth checking out
untitled project 3 which features
a short number on mini organ with video accompaniment.

When Clouds Clear (2008, 15.3MB, 2:26)
Directed by Anne Slick and Danielle Bernstein,
When Clouds Clear is a remarkably intimate portrait
of a tiny Ecuadorian village’s struggle against
mining companies that seek to take over (and destroy)
the land they have long cultivated as their home.
Shot on a lovely mix of Super 8, 16mm, and video
to show the complexities of different viewpoints, the
film is one of the most beautiful I have had the
privilege of viewing this year.

Superflex – Flooded McDonald’s (2009, 8.2MB, 0:41)
Clip from a twenty minute video of a McDonald’s
being fully submerged underwater. (Don’t worry –
they recycled the water, and no staff was present.)
What do you think it means? Is it a statement about
collective inability to act, climate change and multinational
corporations, or consumption?
Whatever the intentions, the video is oddly calming.
From Danish video collective Superflex.

there’s whispering (2008, 21.6MB, 3:45 min)
Rather lovely work from Henry Gwiazda.
Claudia and Paul , in particular, is a shivers down the spine affair for me.
I’d been vaguely aware of Gwiazda before but never really explored his work
– I will definitely be looking carefully in future.
