Re: [Frameworks] Films about the clock

There¹s a variation of the piece you describe by Lozano-Hammer on the wall
of the coffee place at the Los Angeles County of Art.  I believe it is a
digital clock that divides the hours of a day into another metric, tracks
the day using that metric.
Ah, here¹s a piece on it.  It¹s by Jim Campbell.

Just wanted to re-mention Morgan FIsher¹s Phi Phenomenon.

Thank you for those new suggestions.

Roger Beebe, maybe what is happening nowadays is that those artists
interested on "that kind of rigid formal investigation", around the clock,
easy to link with structural film, have changed their mediums. This is
something Tyler Maxin has already noted. Instead of cinema or video they use
some other digital tools for their projects. I'm thinking this realizing
what's behind a piece like Zero Noon (2013) by Rafael Lozano-Hammer: "a
digital clock that shows the current time according to eccentric metrics".

Re: [Frameworks] speaking of Bleu Shut...

In Bob's studio, here in Milwaukee, I remember seeing a shiny metallic-coated 
half-sphere, around 2 1/2 - 3' in diameter.  With its fish-eye reflection 
several people could have grouped in front of it, cropping out the camera while 
shooting.

There was a 165° fisheye lens (Pacific Optical 3.45mm) for gun or cockpit 
cameras that produced a circular image like that and would jibe with the 
military surplus origin. One of the samples I have (and some others I’ve seen) 
has a small hole/divot dead centre in the front element. Definitely 
factory-drilled, and I’m guessing to provide a reference or alignment mark on 
the footage.

I attended PFA's screening of Luminous Procuress a few weeks back

an effect I've only ever associated with Robert Nelson's Bleu Shut. There are 
at least two sections in Nelson's film – one where a group of people are 
repeatedly sticking their tongues out, one where a man is teetering around on a 
child's (bi-? tri-?) cycle before toppling into a large puddle of water, both 
in slow motion – where there's a kind of fisheye view with a small, very black 
hole at the center of the disk. Curator Emeritus Steve Seid thought it was a 
lab effect but I'm curious if any of you know how it was made, what the effect 
is called, and if you know of any other films that use it.

Grateful to Albert and the "clock" thread for reminding me to ask.
