Now you think about it. 

We are meant to change things in our life all of the time.

Screening at MIT Visual Arts Center

Daria Martin, Soft Materials (2004) Soft Materials was shot in the Artificial Intelligence Lab at the University of Zurich where scientists research 'embodied artificial intelligence'. The film introduces a group of robots to two performers, their bodies mimicking responding, and touching. Daria Martin, 

Sensorium Tests (2012), 16mm, (10 min) In Sensorium Tests, Martin uses staged scenarios based on an experiment into the neurological condition called 'mirror-touch synesthesia' People with this condition experience a physical sense of touch on their own bodies when they see other people, or sometimes even objects being touched. The film explores how sensations might be created and shared between people and objects. 

Terry Fox, The Children's Tapes (1974), DVD, (30 min) In a classic early video work, Terry Fox constructs a series of elementary experiments that illustrate fundamental principles of physical science: A piece of fruit is placed under a tin lid held up by a single match, as an unsuspecting fly approaches the bait; a spoon, balanced on a fork, holds a piece of ice until the melting water topples it; a candle in a pan of water is extinguished when a pot is placed over it. 

Through the work of artists spanning from the 19th to the 21st centuries, the List Center's current exhibition In the Holocene proposes that art acts as an investigative and experimental form of inquiry, addressing or amending what is explained through traditional scientific or mathematical means. TTFN. 

and TTFN one more time.

Gerda Taro tribute minus Proposition 37

Gerda Taro (real name Gerta Pohorylle; 1 August 1910 - 26 July 1937) became a war photographer, and the companion and professional partner of photographer Robert Capa. Taro is regarded often as the first female photojournalist to cover the front lines of a war and to die while doing so.

During her coverage of the Republican army retreat, Taro hopped onto the footboard of a car that was carrying wounded soldiers when a Republican tank collided into its side. Taro suffered critical wounds and died the next day, July 26, 1937.  bye.

The Basement Tapes of Sigríður Níelsdóttir

https://vimeo.com/34582312

 p.s. Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, centre, and Maria Alyokhina have been sent to "cruel" Russian prison camps to live out their sentences.

The range and diversity of Warhol's cinema (NOT his pop art ) stands on its own for its contributions to social and political significance. There is always an impassioned (though low-key) plea to experience these movies as they are best seen: in a darkened theatre, on 16m-mm film, projected at the proper speed, in their full duration, and among an audience, however small. 

What a personal cinema film lab may look like ...

... if one spends a considerable amount of isolated quiet time alone, working on a serious bodyofwork that may at some point in the future be criticized, and addressed, outside of a basement mise en scene.

but then again, fashion changes all of the time.
adios. bye. tata for now. c u latr (sic) alligator.
