Re: [Frameworks] Looking for films about the radio and on air diffusion
Walter Ruttmann's Weekend (1930) is a sound scape collage which was made on 35mm film for Berlin Radio, and broadcast in July of that year, so a film if only in the material sense. Ken McMullen's film Ghost Dance (1983, and starring the late Pascale Ogier), has people listening to the BBC shipping forecast on boom boxes that they carry around London. The shipping forecast is a regular radio broadcast of information important to sailors, and comprises a quasi-poetic recitation of local weather conditions in the seas around Britain.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for films about the radio and on air diffusion
I can highly recommend the following two publications on sound/radio and moving image technology intersections and thematics in a wide range of documentaries/experimental films: - Philippe Langlois, *Les cloches d'Atlantis. Musique électroacoustique et cinéma. Archéologie et histoire d'un art sonore.* Paris: Éditions MF, 2012. Info here: http://www.lesclochesdatlantis.com/ ...and: - Jerry White, *The Radio EYE. Cinema in the North Atlantic 1958-1988*. Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2009. In addition, I think that also *Song of Ceylon* (Basil Wright, 1934) is a good classic example of radio transmission in film, and later the radio play transmissions of Derek Jarman's *Blue* (1993).

[Frameworks] NYC area only: 16mm stuff to give away
Dear NYC area Frameworkers, I'm moving across the country and I can't take everything, so I'm giving some things away if you will pick them up at my place in Manhattan. These include: - a Moviscop 16mm viewer that needs repair or could provide parts; - a Bell Howell 16mm projector (2585) that needs a bulb and some lube or could be used for parts. It comes with a cover that is slightly broken at the bottom but still fits tightly to the projector; - 7 200-foot loads of 500T/7218 16mm film. These were given to me by an academic institution and they weren't kept in cold storage; - 3 rolls of Kodak film that have been kept in the refrigerator but are quite old: all 100 foot daylight spools, 7231, 7285, and 7265. These will be available until May 13th. Please contact me off list if you are interested.

Re: [Frameworks] Martin Arnold Animated Gifs
Right off the top of my head, I do think that audio is incredibly important to Arnold's work, and unfortunately, there is no way to include audio in a gif (yet...), so in that sense I suppose it could be considered a compromise. Unfortunately, my computer isn't loading the gifs that I assume are on that page, so I can't offer any informed criticism, though I assume they are re-mixes and in that sense, I don't think they are a compromise of his work since they by no means are stand-ins for the originals. -LJ On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 1:33 PM, Nicholas A Briz nb...@saic.edu wrote: hi all, just wondering... ...looking for some thoughts on this: http://www.nickbriz.com/martinarnoldanimatedgifs/ re-dug these up for an upcoming show in thinking about 'em again wonder'd what this community might think?

Re: [Frameworks] Martin Arnold Animated Gifs
Ha, I didn't realize the text on that page was in fact a couple of links. So, I do think that the alienating effect of the original pieces, based primarily on the repetition and how it plays against our expectations (based on the narrative conventions of the original work), is kind of lost since the gif is a medium of repetition. In this sense, they resemble most gifs adapted from motions picture media. The fact that this alienating effect is bypassed in this way, though, is very interesting and in that sense I think these gifs are an incredibly interesting commentary on the importance of medium and the conventions that surround each medium in a culture. -LJ On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 2:06 PM, LJ Frezza ljfre...@gmail.com wrote: Right off the top of my head, I do think that audio is incredibly important to Arnold's work, and unfortunately, there is no way to include audio in a gif (yet...), so in that sense I suppose it could be considered a compromise.

I don’t see any of those negative evaluations (perversion in the negative sense) - I see transformation of content; the result is contingent on the original. I don’t ask if its appropriate, Duchamp says you already said so. But ppl still argue that point, a lot. I see legit re-presentations of Arnold’s work. They give me more insight than stills, even without sound. I may not be your 'exemplar audience member’. . . Each audience member’s going to make their evaluations. A particular person's argument with that point can just be their experience of the work. How are you going to introduce an audience to them? Online, gallery? What does the show look like? Where’s the (barf) gallery wall text in relationship to this work? That framework will help your cause. How do you want the work to meet the audience?
