Re: [Frameworks] (no subject)
Hi Heath- In 1974 I produced several hundred feet of Film Electrocutions. The film was wetted with a salt solution and drawn between two electrodes at 9000vac in the dark. This resulted in arcing across the width of the 16mm DP negative, with the flashing concentrated between the sprocket holes. t0ny On Wed 02/20/13 8:45 AM , Heath Iverson heath.ivers...@gmail.com sent: Dear Frameworkers, I'm a doctoral candidate working on contemporary British artists' cinema. At the moment I'm doing some research on Jane and Louise Wilson's The Toxic Camera, an installation which, in part, commemorates the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. The installation is framed as a response to Vladimir Shevchenko's film, Chernobyl: A Chronicle of Difficult Weeks. Filmed in the immediate aftermath of the accident, Shevchenko's film was damaged by the ambient radiation--leaving the film's emulsion visibly pockmarked by the collision with decaying atomic particles. At various points, the Wilson's digital video seems to simulate the material damage in the Shevchenko film--sometimes literally mimicking a pocked marked emulsion, other times apparently translating this analogue damage into other digital distortions in the image. My question: does anyone know how these digital effects were technically achieved? Obviously, there are all kinds of digital filters that emulate a film look, but I would like to know exactly what the Wilson's process was in production of their video's effects. Perhaps someone has their contact information? A secondary question: Can anyone point me to any other films in which the emulsion registers non-light electromagnetic energy, that is, radiation outside the visible spectrum. I can think of certain films that intentionally make use x-ray photography, but I'd be interested in other examples, especially in accidental instances.

Re: [Frameworks] Beatriz Flores Gutiérrez
Dear Bernie--- I am truly shocked and profoundly saddened to hear this news. I didn't know. Beatriz was a really Big person, with a larger meaning that infiltrated everything about her. She was also a sweet and warm person, and I always knew she would find her way on the right track; this makes her loss all the more paradoxical and incomprehensible. I know that she has been a very important part of your life, and the things you have known about and with her are lastingly important. For me, Beatriz will stay strong and vital in memory; I was very fond of her for the great person she was, and the great work she undertook. Yours, -t0ny On Tue 01/08/13 3:16 PM , Bernard Roddy rodd...@yahoo.com sent: Beatriz Flores Gutiérrez passed away on Saturday, April 21, 2012 of breast cancer. She attended San Fransisco State University, then completed an MFA in the Department of Media Study at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Between the Fall of 2003 and the Spring of 2009 she taught at the University of North Texas' Department of Radio, Television, and Film, Northern Illinois University's Time Arts program within their School of Art, and Evergreen State College's Media Arts program. Beatriz was an active member of the Evolutionary Girls Club, a collective founded in part by Erica Eaton during their studies in Buffalo. An active chamption of undocumented workers within the U.S., Beatriz developed a series of videos about the experiences of Mexicans working and living in the States. By nature very sweet and approacheable, she was a fierce defender of the everday working Mexican-Americans. In Mexico Beatriz was a theater student before moving north and always loved dance and physical expression. In the North she was profoundly disturbed by the activities of the U.S. border patrol and Immigration authorities. Beatriz never tired of returning to the border, where she had long-standing relationships with Americans working on behalf of migrants. Organizations on the U.S./Mexican border like No More Deaths and Humane Borders were frequent destinations for Beatriz, and some of us received our basic education about the border and the U.S. foreign policy itself on road trips in her company discussing documentary film and the history of activist media. She was a central figure in the organization of the conference Bridges Not Walls, which was held at Evergreen State College May 15 - 18, 2008. Beatriz also loved pioneers, including Beatriz Noronha da Costa, with whom she studied during the latter's year teaching in Buffalo. During her final years Beatriz had many friends in Olympia with whom she shared an interest in movement workshops, yoga, and natural living. She is survived by three sisters, a brother, and her parents, now separated, all of whom live near Mexico City, where Beatriz grew up. She maintained some activity and enjoyment of life until near the end, and passed peacefully, without pain, and among friends.

There seems to be such a polemic between film schools geared towards positioning students for industry jobs and film schools that focus more on individual practice, conceptualization, experimentation... And while I'd say I am way more on the later side, I'd certainly love to find a school that has a good technical foundation. Other than that, I'm looking for a school that offers working as a TA, or full rides... which seems harder and harder to find And just to throw it out there, any thoughts on Berlin?

Re: [Frameworks] {Disarmed} Re: Andy Warhol's SLEEP / Providence, RI / Feb 18 / Magic Lantern + RK Projects
John Cale performed in the Vexations concert, among others of course, but that was well before the VU, as I recall. However, Andy was in contact with La Monte Young about sound for his films when they were shown at Lincoln Center. I can't accept the idea that Andy got the idea for repetition, or editing together long films, from Satie. First, it's far more probable that he got the idea from our group with La Monte; we even gave a concert at Henry Geldzahler's place. Second, Andy generally used a magazine with 1200 foot reels so he wouldn't have to splice or do any editing. --t0ny On Sun 02/12/12 6:11 PM , Eric Theise ericthe...@gmail.com sent: Hi Fred, In Edie (Stein w/Plimpton, pp 234-235), George Plimpton recountsriding in a freight elevator with Warhol and mentioning the Carnegie Hall concert organized by Cage. I mentioned it to Andy only because I thought he might be vaguely interested--he was doing these eight-hour films of people sleeping. It never occurred to me that he knew of this concert, or of Satie, since it wouldn't have surprised me a bit if he'd never heard of Satie. His reaction startled me. He said, Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh! I'dnever seen his face so animated. It made a distinct impression. Between ohhh's he told me that he'd actually gone to the concert and sat through the whole thing. He couldn't have been more delighted to be telling me about it. My reading of the announcement is that the Vexations concert in Providence is 45 minutes long, and that it precedes the screening. --Eric On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Fred Camper .com wrote: Quoting Damon @gmail.com: While this presentation of Sleep certainly differs from the original  screenings of the film, it is also far from a Youtube hommage. Vexations played an important role in Warhol's conception of the film, and he took from Satie a working method making possible the editing of his short reels into a lengthy film. Sorry I don't have time at the moment to unpack this point as I'm running out the door, but here is a link to some supporting literature to this position: http://www.warholstars.org/news/johncage.html Is there some aspect of the text on this link that actually supports your claim that Vexations specifically influenced Sleep? It's not even clear that Warhol ever heard Vexations. But even if the answer is yes, that doesn't support playing one during a sceening of the other. Would you have Pound's Cantos recited during a screening of Dog Star Man? Excerpts from the Tibetan Book of the Dead read during George Landow's Bardo Follies?
