Re: (Un)relieable perceptual information I once drafted a running list of great shots, but I can't find it. It favored motion and included the shots Gene mentioned, plus certainly Straub/Huillet, especially the opening circular track around the Place de la Bastille. But what I wanted to ask is whether you could use things like Brakhage's calisthenical camera work, e.g. the pans of the moon and the circular track on the merry-go-round in Anticipation of the Night; or things like Gehr, e.g. Serene Velocity, Side/Walk/Shuttle, and Glider; also, Werner Nekes, and many more. Once started on this track there should be lots of radical examples, if they fit your question. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Correction: Eiki/Hokushin service recommendations?
For Eiki, you might try Urbanski. The following is a list of Eiki service providers. I've used a few of them, perhaps others on this listserv can chime in if they feel strongly about one vendor over another. http://16mmdirectory.org/projectors/eiki Hokushin will be tough due to parts availability. Rangertone was the last service center, and they've been gone for some time. No idea where those parts ended up. Great projectors, maybe even a tad better than Eiki but don't know many people servicing them. You could ask RFS near Montreal. Super 8 Reversal Lab in The Hague rents three models of Hokushin xenon and might have a good source for parts/service. You could also post your question to the collector's list run by Urbanski - 16mmfilmtalk.com.

[Frameworks] Abstract sketches posted to Flickr
Hi, I have done a lot of sketching this summer, and have put some of my favorite sketches into a set on Flickr which can be found at https://flic.kr/s/aHskiEZS6i. I hope you enjoy them. if you wish to indulge me further, you can read the essay below on how and why I made these. I'd love to hear your opinions on the sketches and the essay. Thanks. I've been making abstract sketches (the only kind i was ever able to make) off and on (mostly off) since at least 1970. At the beginning of June I took an informal dance workshop which ended with some sketching. I was intrigued and bought a few magic markers and a couple of sketchbooks. I quickly discovered that sketching was the most centering thing I could do by myself and have been sketching more and more since, using magic marker pens and, more recently, oil pastels. It had the advantage of not requiring the use of a computer and the further advantage (at first!) that I was not as invested in the quality of the results as I would be when doing photography or video. Sketching has helped me deal with some stressful and emotionally troubling issues. There is a park with a lovely lake two blocks from my house, and I try to bring down some pens and a sketchbook to a picnic table in the park for at least an hour of sketching on every nice day. I also sketch at home, usually for at least an hour a day. I have always worked improvisationally in every art form that I have pursued, but I quickly realized that I needed to develop some new strategies for sketching, because a medical condition makes it impossible for me to draw a precise line or shape. I've been trying to judo my weakness into a strength by thinking of all the things I can do that somebody who could draw a precise line might not think of. Sometimes I pick out a pen and a region of the picture work on and just go on whim, and draw whatever line my hand wants to draw. On occasion, I pick out a pen and draw some lines very quickly without even thinking about it. I often draw percussively, wielding the pan as if it were a drum stick. Sometimes I listen to the ambient sounds (if outdoors) or music (if indoors) and let the sound guide my hand. I often start drawing a line without knowing where it will go or how long it will be – I just keep moving the pen until I seem to be done. I've also developed techniques for very quickly making textures with a rapidly drawn sequence of short thin lines. When I make a 'mistake' I try to follow Brian Eno's oblique strategy honour thy error as a hidden intention and find a way to incorporate the error into the piece. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of analogies to dance in my sketching. I think of it as something like contact improvisation for pens and paper. Dance teachers and facilitators often tell us to think more about how it feels than about how it looks. This seems like a peculiar metaphor to use in a visual art, but in practice I often look at the sketch in progress, choose a pen, and do whatever my body wants to do in reaction to the stretch. -- Emile Art is man's way of saying I love you to the universe.
