swimmer6mn27 color stéréo 2010 Franceby Hanna HusbergA presence in a vast exterior, a journey without goal.self-productionself-distributionclip Wound Footage6mn06 color stéréo 2009 Germanyby Thorsten FleischSource material is a found footage super 8 film. The visual carrier was attacked in a multitude of ways. It was scratched, cut open and violated. I captured an attempt to screen it. There it burned and was destroyed by the projector. Sorry little film. With the video footage I provoked the encoding. As a result some pixels were dislocated. In the end I reshot the film from the monitor while I somehow angered the cables that connect the monitor with my computer. That all may sound very negative and destructive to you dear reader but the goal was an almost humanist one: Unification of the digital with the anologue world. They seem so far apart and yet they aren't. By exposing every material's weaknesses and injuries it was made one. It's all visual sensations in the end. Rita Hayworth grindily sings along.self-productionself-distributionclip sun moon stars rain3mn20 color stéréo 2009 Canadaby Leslie Supnet"sun moon stars rain" is a psychedelic visual elegy, lamenting the death of Mother Nature's children. self-productionself-distributionclip Night6mn30 color stéréo 2009 Norwayby Farhad Kalantary“Night” is a journey in the dark, and a short film that explores the borders of visibility.
Its gripping sound track carries the film towards deeper layers of darkness as the act of viewing becomes more challenging. “Night” was shot using high definition video from a traveling train in the height of Nordic winter.
self-productiondistribution : The Norwegian Film Instituteclip Hypn7mn30 color stéréo 2009 Franceby Philippe RouyIn the depths of speed, the eyes get lost, washed up on the verge of insomnia.self-productiondistribution : HEURE EXQUISE !clip gobbledigook3mn10 color stéréo 2009 Franceby Delphine RouxMotion animation, which aims to bring to light the everyday gestures.
My work themes are the following :
-to choreograph the daily
-to test the body and space.
My work tools are my body and a scanner.
I use the scanner as a window to which I move.self-productionself-distributionclip 30 sec0mn30 color stéréo 2009 Franceby François ParisI always told you that life was passing before it died, so I tried to imagine myself in 30 seconds.

Video of a series of fragments.self-productionself-distributionclip Skin Light6mn38 b/w stéréo 2009 Franceby Anne-Lise MaureThe immobile body begins to move, to multiply and become numerous. A musical image. The light sources and music rythm become a hypnotic kaleidoscope of an image.self-productionself-distributionclip The MBC @ The Office3mn07 color stéréo 2008 USAby Sarah Buckius & Melanie ManosIn this video, Manos and Buckius find themselves surrounded by four tables on which run ten printers. Manos and Buckius frantically zoom around the confined space on their rolling chairs in an attempt to retrieve and stack the papers endlessly being processed through the printers. The paperwork just never seems to end, as they race against the clock and an unknown deadline ! The MBC embraces purposelessness ! Our aim is to energize a space with our activities, and suggest new interpretations for existing structures both in the social/political and environmental/architectural sense. Formalist aesthetics...patterned yet spontaneous movement...vibrant colors and actions…we are Jacques Tati meets DEVO. Working as a team, we interact physically with everyday objects and technological devices by using them to perform unconventional, bizarre and highly non- productive tasks. The work proposes that everyday objects and technologies might be reinterpreted in absurd, playful, and strange ways, and that the nature of productivity and function be re-examined. This work questions levels of authority and control : are we in control of technology, our immediate environment, and institutional systems, or is the reverse true ? Our work has included photography, mediated performances (live-feed to video monitor or projector), live performance with projections, videos, video installation with projections, and video installation with sculpture.
The MBC is particularly interested in spaces that offer a potential for site-specific work, and we are often drawn to irregular and notably compartmental areas or rooms. We work specifically to the confines of a space, and each space becomes heterotopic through the experience.
self-productionself-distributionclip Tour in NYC - 4’33” on Violin2mn17 color mono 2008 USAby Lucilla ChanTime Square was the last location on my Tour in NYC 2008. Performed as a violin soloist in Time Square to play 4'33" (according to John Cage), to experience the surrounding sounds. Stood as "living sculpture" like Gilbert & George, to observe and be observed in the public, to investigate the reactions and activities of the public in a major tourist attraction in this vivid city.self-productionself-distributionclip Magia6mn35 color stéréo 2010 Franceby Gérard CairaschiA young boy molds objects with clay that he then manipulates, combines and associates, in an obscure ritual. As the objects/representations he creates combine and develop a narrative, the fast alternation of images on the screen imbricate and shape images/apparitions that only the “lanterna magica” of cinema and the magic of editing allow. Magica means enchantment.self-productiondistribution : HEURE EXQUISE !clip A Diamond Forms Under Pressure6mn12 color stéréo 2008 Republic of Irelandby Ocusonic"A Diamond Forms Under Pressure" is an anomaly existing somewhere between experimental film and music video, computer animation/ programming, science and art.
An improvised electronic soundtrack drives proprietary software, which analyses the audios's frequency content and generates a cogent synchronous image in real-time. Frequencies push and pull against each other stabilising or agitating the central image self-productionself-distributionclip
