Invisible Images (Copy)

gestures of coincidence: 1/2 : more happy than disgusted – corrupted self

code racer

code racer you stream / you race

YOU the digital ∝ the massive traversing unimaginable terrains,  / a mirror a flip , flop .

expanding infinitely / a  boundless volume of consequence, a flux

engaged ... data / an endless stream

manipulated, reinterpreted, cut, pasted

multiplicity  ... reshaping shape / languages

I stared into his eyes, so different without glasses from the huge round eyes of his earlier self. The eyes are narrow behind their contact lenses. Do I trust him? Dare I trust him? He seems a nice old man but he could well be the Hacker ...”

Light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second. In all practical terms if information were to travel in a vacuum it would travel as fast as light but realistically it only moves as fast as its method of transmission allows it to. It travels as packets of information, from one machine to another converging at their destination in one piece. Assembled, dispersed and then re-assembled.

For consideration :

1. Transparency in exile : factual information may vary according to availability (working title) an intervention to an existing access corridor where information is copied, shredded and then reconfigured.

2. A place like you / a place like me / a place that no longer belongs to us (working title) a situation where visual information is gathered to then be recomposited as an online project at a future date.

Ernie Gehr – the structuralist film maker

No Blockbusters Here, Just Mind Expanders

By MANOHLA DARGIS Published: November 11, 2011

"THERE are a multiplicity of adjectives that fit Ernie Gehr’s experimental film and digital work: abstract, beautiful, mysterious, invigorating, utopian. The work can also be oblique; this is not a bad thing! His 14-minute film “History” (1970), to take one extreme example, largely consists of what looks like a sparkly black-and-gray blob that brings to mind a hallucination of a desert night sky, like van Gogh on acid....

Can we see philosophy? (what a great question)

"It is a question that is always haunting me: What is it that I’m working with? It’s also, What is a film? What is a digital work? Is it the physical item? Is it the projector? The strip of film? The tape? The disc? It’s all part of it. It’s mixed media. And the way these things all interact tell us so much about human perception and experience and the way one sees anything in the world."

"Structuralist film theory is a branch of film theory that is rooted in Structuralism, itself based on structural linguistics. Structuralist film theory emphasizes how films convey meaning through the use of codes and conventions not dissimilar to the way languages are used to construct meaning in communication". taken from somewhere on the web
