 Center for Visual Music is pleased to announce its release of two new DVDs
that showcase the dazzling work of contemporary digital artists. *Robert
Seidel: Projections, Installations and Films* collects the video
installations, media façades and experimental films of this Berlin-based
artist that have been exhibited worldwide for more than a decade. *Richard
“dr.” Baily and John Buchanan: experiments in spore* presents three
personal art films by Baily, a Hollywood Visual Effects/Computer Graphics
wizard (from *Tron* to *Fight Club*, *Solaris *and more), assisted by John
Buchanan. Both DVDs are the latest example of Center for Visual Music’s
ongoing commitment to promoting important works of experimental animation
and abstract media.

“[Robert Seidel’s work is] an immersive experience, a sensuous dip into
light, color, movement, sound and change.”
- *Los Angeles Times*


 Robert Seidel (b. 1977) is an international artist whose video
installations, media façades and experimental films have appeared in
festivals, galleries and museums for more than a decade. Based in Berlin,
Seidel studied biology before his studies at Bauhaus University Weimar; his
work pushes the boundaries of abstraction to the sublime through digital
methods that combine scientific visual analysis, painting and sculpture. In
Seidel’s works, organic imagery shifts in elaborate detail, evolving
structurally in time and space to create continually unfolding experiences.
Projected on enormous building façades, water fountains, and even
sculptures, or installed in urban streets, the digital art resonates with
aesthetic and emotional complexity.


Produced by Center for Visual Music (Los Angeles) and Studio Robert Seidel
(Berlin), *Robert Seidel: Projections, Installations and Films *collects
his major films, videos and documentation from his globe-spanning
exhibitions. It also includes Seidel’s experimental films, and as a Bonus
Feature, a 45-minute exclusive interview between Seidel and curator Andre
Eckardt of the German Institute for Animated Film (DIAF).


 Seidel’s works have been exhibited in museums such as ZKM, Karlsruhe;
Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los
Angeles; Art Center Nabi, Seoul; MuseumsQuarter, Vienna; Museum of Image
and Sound, São Paulo; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. He has
received accolades including the KunstFilmBiennale Cologne Honorary Award,
Best Experimental Film at Ottawa International Animation Festival, and an
Honorary Mention from Prix Ars Electronica.

“Like many of the most talented computer animators of his generation,
[Richard] Baily's sensibilities
are first and foremost musical.”
- *Contemporary* magazine


Pioneering visual effects artist, painter and musician Richard “dr.” Baily
(1953 - 2006) is renowned within the Hollywood industry for his high-speed
rendering software (SPORE) and the groundbreaking effects he created for
films such as *Fight Club *(1999), *The Cell* (2000) and *Solaris* (2002).
A 1977 graduate of CalArts, Baily initially joined Robert Abel and
Associates, where, among other accomplishments, he created trailblazing
graphics for *Tron* (1982). Forming his own company in 1992, Image Savant,
he continued to create effects for many Hollywood movies, commercials and
music videos.


Center for Visual Music is proud to present *Richard “dr.” Baily and John
Buchanan: experiments in spore*, a collection of three personal art films
Baily created outside the industry. Inspired by filmmaker Jordan Belson
(whose work is also available on DVD from CVM), whom he called “the
preeminent artist of the 20th century,” Baily’s undulating, overlapping
patterns of light express a profound and lingering beauty. Baily’s work has
been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, REDCAT,
Hammer Museum and many other venues.


Baily co-credited his assistant, John Buchanan, on his film *xtacism*
(2005), and Buchanan also completed their film, *aura* (2007). In addition
to these two films, the DVD contains Baily’s classic CalArts thesis
film, *Night
Waves* (1977), made with advice from Baily’s mentor Jules Engel.

 Are there any labs that will still make a 16mm color  inter negative from 
 hand painted original? Nothing flaky about the paint and some is just scene 
 toning.
