Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

2020-09-14 Thread Francisco Torres
'Scott wrote - '...to take an audio source (WAV or MP3,
or direct audio from a mic or line in) and convert it to an optical track.''

Now I get it Interesting project for sure!  Those optical track
printers must be inepensive now, getting the raw stock they use seems
trickier. The film recorder problem, as others have mentioned, is that
it is designed to create single frames. Also I dont know if they allow
to print in the optical track area, Interesting project for sure!
Hope this project works out and please keep us informed about it.

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

2020-09-13 Thread Francisco Torres
so the original poster idea is to convert the optical sound  track
into an image that could be printed on the frame area to be projected
as a whole image as we listen to the sound? is that it?

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm Film Projector

2020-06-06 Thread Francisco Torres
well, if after getting the projector from free they do not want to
spend money on basic maint. then they do not know what film is all
about.  these are mechanical devices, like cars. if you get a car for
free you still have to take it to a shop for basic stuff or if you
know how to do it you do it yourself. either way you have to do it.
the reason i sugested the freebies is that in my experience they
usually belonged to an institution so at least they got some form of
regular care at some point in the past as opposed to being owned by an
individual that maybe did not have the means or even the interest to
do it.

why stop at chemicals, why not mild radiation? like putting an old

''Who decides?  Who decides who decides?'' Reminds me of the final
scene of 3 days of the Condor.

The only movie about epidemics I like is The Andromeda Strain. The
third act reveal is quite a shock even after almost 50 years. In one
brief scene it manages to say so much ! but that was the 70s, SF
movies were very HEAVY. Take Rollerball, for example. Today it looks
like a reality show or the evening news. Oh well. This are sure some
messed up times I never thought I would live through some entropic
thing like this. Nuclear war? Yes. Mad Max?  Yes. But this slow motion
Ballard catastrophe? No way.
So back to the ancients for advice-
''The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable
death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind
are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows,
rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being
thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning,
being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from
thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the

It seems harsh to put the responsability of our current situation on
all of humanity when actually it is the product of decisions taken
since ancient times by those in power and not by anything like ''human
nature''. If today the Amazon burns and African rainforest are razen
it is because decisions taken in boardrooms and presidential palaces
and, if we want to go further back, when Columbus and Da Gama got
money and ships to ''discover'' America and Africa...

But that is a political view of history, one that seems to be rapidly
being replaced by others like the one created by Mr. Edward O. Wilson,
Sociobiology.  In Sociobiology we humans have no other choice but to
compete against each other without any hope of ever getting out of the
systems of control and explotation created by the state and capital.
After all it is our genes who are on the driver seat, selfish genes
who only care for their replication. So why despair about domination
and destruction of all of nature then?  A very useful ideology to
those sitting at the top of the heap because it makes them feel better
by liberating them of responsability and for the rest of us who expect
to accept the rule power as the only possible way of living. ''Dont
worry, if it is just the way of nature, the strong survive and the

I suggest one course of action to avoid such problems- Total boycott of
academia. Find other sources of employment if possible. If academia is the
only alternative in terms of earning an income then withhold your true work
from the academic audience. Create safe, vanilla works for the
administration and the student body and another body of work for yourself
and your true audience (outside academia). Also withhold your true wisdom
from your academic work, keep it secret. Moreover, feed an official
artistic line to your students and co-workers. Play it safe. After all, it
worked for the alchemists for hundred of years.

Re: [Frameworks] Saul Levine & MassArt: resources

2018-04-02 Thread Francisco Torres
In today's money hungry climate it is very good for a college to find
reasons to get rid of tenured staff. Especially if they have many years of
service (less pension to pay).  When such fiscal considerations get
combined with the current mentally unstable climate there will be many more
such incidents. I guess Carolee Schneemann's work will be banned soon,
too.  If this trend continues I doubt there will be any universities left
in about 20 years, maybe sooner. Only technical colleges will remain.

Bad belts are the cause of many problems, even machines that are not
used too often get their belts ruined by just ageing. The plastic gets
very brittle with age even if taken care of. Recently I found some

Re: [Frameworks] Cinema v Gallery: Robert Frank in Chicago

2017-05-28 Thread Francisco Torres
This discussion made me think about the place of art in our current
cultural climate , how, in the last fifteen years or so, there seems there
is no more space for art as art . Art has become something of a curiosity
item or , at best, a conversation piece whose only value is monetary. Just
pay attention about the way most people who walk into gallery pay attention
to the work being exhibited- they seem to to be more interested in the
produce they browse through at the supermarket.  It was something that did
not happen overnight, it was breeding for a long time but now it is  all
around us and there is not much to be done about it. The few people who
know about  artists  like Frank do so through the media coverage of their
work and must often such coverage emphasizes how important their work  is
because of the money their work commands in the market place. This 2015
piece on Frank in the NY Times is very typical of that -

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/05/magazine/robert-franks-america.html?_r=0

If you read the entire piece you will see that in the end everything is
about the money, isnt it?
Oh well.

Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming

Dave Tetzlaff- 'The companion pieces are opposites, ‘Leche’
dreamy-positive; ‘Mala Leche’ fetid-negative, but each, in their own way,
ideologically clueless and corrupt.''

Which makes me wonder why do most filmmakers when making
''social''/''ethnographic'' films usually go outside their own group and
choose some ''outsider'' group? After all the group they know the best is
their own so why not make films about their own people? Because most times
when they look out they get everything wrong and the films end up a mess
