Formed by visual and sound loops, this work explores organic textures related to images shot in Gaspésie in 1966. My grandfather’s nervous camera, combined with his fascination for certain innocuous movements, resonates with my artistic practice. An organic algae-based film creation workshop gave me the pretext to play with these images, allowing me to work with the film in an organic and ecological way, but also playful. The workshop offered by TAIS – Toronto Animated Image Society gave me the excuse and the impetus to create this short experiment. Vladimir Konic imagined during a period of confinement, a method to create and digitize a film made from algae. The textures and colors created with these organic inks and films grabbed me. Their combination with recently digitized family archive images came about naturally. What could be more natural than combining images of Gaspésie with textures of algae? The process combines analog and digital technologies, 8mm film and organic film. The soundtrack comes from unused scraps from other projects.

Audiovisual intervention on the film in the public domain: DEMENTIA (Daugther of Horror) by John Parker (1955).

Collage 37 is part of a research process in Audiovisual Arts where we try to explore the structural, formal and rhythmic relationships as generators and regenerators of their own meaning and vehicle for a new production of aesthetic experiences.

In our work we intervene and construct spatial and temporal variations on scenes from mythical cinema films that have passed into the public domain. We modify, alter and intensify its previous meanings, modifying its significant formal elements. amplifying or varying its narrative value and its structural order and generating a new audiovisual gear.

For Creation

—————————————–

Deborah Louise Kelly

—————————————–

For Creation is an elaborate contemplation of the great weight, the myriad complexity, the glittering webs enveloping matter and sentience. Combining playful proposition, ardent queerness, elegy and homage, this new moving image artwork forms a call to congregants of CREATION. Made over three years, around entwined global crises of health, climate and justice, For Creation is animated paper collage constructed from the ruins of obsolete books. In Sydney, Kandos and Darwin, collage workshop participants collectively studied SJ Norman’s glorious Liturgy of the Saprophyte, the new sacred literature at the heart of the CREATION project, and their resulting artworks form figure and field. Musical collaborators and queer legends Stereogamous composed the anthemic soundtrack, which features the voices of SJ Norman and emerging popstar Lupa J.

It’s a self-examined process for assess your present time. In the regular bass sound surround space, you could find there’s a few teenagers are having a madness house party, and there’s a girl awake but exhausted for being there. There’s a slightly smog or light gently but regularly move in the space. The smog represented a spiritual inside a space. It could be the spiritual from you or others. It’s like you are just in a conference or a party and suddenly there’s something pull your spirit away from your body. It makes you look at yourself in a different angle, but you’re still in the group. What would you do and what’s the connection between you and others?
If the smog was another you – a same existence from another world to look at your body in this group full of chaos and desired. However, there’s nothing you can changed as a member in this group. All you can do silently look down at your body, and move away quietly.

If the smog wasn’t you, it was an outsider of this whole group of people. You are paralysed to make any specific change in the group although your body still in there. What you should do and what would you do? You are just upon there and silently away from all these scenes made by human being.
There’s certainly no right or wrong answer for this topic. This just point out the way how you look at yourself. It’s a discussion about the existence of yourself. What makes you becomes the present existence and what’s track you would leave in your life.

GRID

—————————————–

Alexandre Alagôa

—————————————–

A ritual of grids, reflections and chasms; a complete state of entropy; a space that devours itself; a vertigo that destroys the gravity of the Earth; a trap that captures us inside the voids of the screen of light: «That blank arena wherein converge at once the hundred spaces» (Hollis Frampton).
