Maya Deren - Meshes of the afternoon (1943)
"[Meshes of the Afternoon] reproduces the way in which the sub-conscious of an individual will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simply and causal incident into a critical emotional experience" -maya derek
The Lead Shoes (Sidney Peterson, 1949)
"It was part of the special confusion of the time to combine belief with dis-belief, treat half-beliefs as ready-mades. which had only to be conceived of as objects (like the lead shoes themselves) to be found. If this was reification (treating abstractions as "real" things), it went with alienation–the two being generally regarded as twin diseases of the then generation, involving among other things, a loss of the soul." -Sidney Peterson

ReplyDeleteCalit2 Gallery Event
ReplyDeleteCurrently, the gallery at Calit2 is displaying a community outreach program of various departments at UCSD and around San Diego County, and demonstrating their efforts and progress though wall murals and video loops. The video loops reflected an interesting realm of video medium. In our last lecture, we viewed a few videos of investigators and scientists who narrated their stories and experiences to an interviewer without directly looking into the lens. Most of them dominated either the left or the right half of the screen and they didn’t have to strain their voices too to get their word across to us as their stories were not directed to us as an audience but were a converse with the interviewer only, and we as viewers seemed to be eves-dropping on their conversation. However, in the case of the video loops at this gallery that were informative and conveyed information to us directly, the speaker or presented always looked in to the lens and was highly motivated and loud towards the viewers. The speakers were speaking to us directly as the information they shared was solely meant for us and no one else around. Another interesting feature was video snippets of their on-site work where the camera placed itself in such a way that a viewer can imagine himself/herself standing amidst the group on the screen.
