Program I

Talking Me by Metrah Pashaee
3:44 min / digital / sound / 2012
Talking Me is a cinematic Dadaist collage comprised of appropriations from online videos. By subtly manipulating preexisting pieces and choreographing these images to a distorted soundtrack, the ultimate effect is a dialogue between rhythm, movement, and language phonetics. One can think of this work as a moving image run-on sentence.

Prompt and Response: Often Blue / Blue Dream / Goddess Triad / Pizza Pals by Blair Bogin & Nathan S. Duncan
6 min / digital / sound / 2013

The Importance of Being Earnest by Rachel Stuckey
2 min / digital / silent / 2013
A brief and potentially humorous mutation of an educational filmstrip for Naval Telegraphers.

Onion Portraits #3 (Gladis) by Patrick Marshall

park film by Ekrem Serdar

FLYING SAUCER DRONE by Caroline Koebel
4:31 / digital / sound / 2013
Flying Saucer Drone posits contemporary American aerial war technology in the context of the Cold War pursuit of ever better weaponry as self-protection, despite the reality that it was the US that dropped A-bombs on civilization. 1950 sources: Rabbit’s Moon (Kenneth Anger), The Flying Saucer (Mikel Conrad), and Flying Disc Man from Mars (Fred C. Brannon). The video is a result of an invitation by Enrico Tomaselli, Art Director of Magmart Festival I video under volcano, to participate in the global project 100×100=900 (100 videoartists to tell a century) http://www.9hundred.org/ for which each filmmaker was randomly assigned a year from the 20th c.—in this case, 1950.

Doors To Your House by Jarrett Hayman
8:33 min / digital /sound / 2012
A wind-driven screen door and a pair of squeaking hinges become an occasion for exploring the more painterly qualities of the video medium, aspiring to isolate the viewer within this mid-afternoon daydream. – JH

3D photographs of human vulvae are animated and interwoven with surfaces and textures in natural and human-made environments. The genital images were taken from a set of ViewMaster 3D reels that accompanied a textbook entitled The Clitoris, published in 1976 by two medical professionals.
