Marcel Duchamp clip from The Shock of the New (1982) The Mechanical Paradise
April 11, 2010 by admin, under artworks, bio-feedback / cybernetics, formal / structural / grids, inter-bodies / half-objects, mirrors / displays / frames, videos.
Here we can see Duchamp’s shift from linear thinking (Nude Descending Staircase) to something more circular (Bride Stripped Bare..), something he would later call “delay”, as Jerrold Segal notes, “suspended in a space it never traverses.”
The clip of course seems to reffer more to these movements in relation to asthetics, psychological and (male) sexual frustration. What is lacking in Robert Hughes analysis lies in relation to a social, political and economical shifts occuring at the time: a shift from a simplified modernist linear progression of technology moving towards a more lateral, circular and rhizomatic technological progression in a lumming post-modern era.

Lady Ane Angel "ONE"

This agent provocateur style short is awefully similiar to my intentions for the tap dancer clip in Lacuna and even more for the “Aquis Submersus” print series…

How to: Love
April 8, 2009 by ric, under artworks, film / photographic, inter-bodies / half-objects, stories / dreams, thoughts, videos.
Below is a re-appropriation of an intel commerical and music video using text from a wiki-how article entitled ‘how to love’.
Avolition follows here a similiar line of thought .in terms of emotional response and atmosphere. However, Avolition does not close on it self, leaving the machinic voice develop sort of platonic affair with it self. Lets not forget that Avolition is already conceived ‘visible’ platonic affair and not one which necessarily imposes its ‘platonicism’ on its spectators. Love in this clip however is fundamanetally technologically introvert, we only experience the theatrical suffering offered by the clear positioning of humans and machines (machines as narrator / humans as objects with desires that need administration) – the intangebility of the machine describing love whereas it will never experience it. The spectator in this sense is a passive one (Jacques Ranciere) who cannot enter into an ‘actual’ conversation about the definition and ethics that constitute love, or an empirical definition or knowledge production of such experience. This could be expanded and this is what I hope to have started with Avolition. Love is not intrinsicly human, instead it inhabits inside the relationships and social systems that we produce. “Under this light” (as in the stage set up when passing by Avolition at night) technology might have a place for co-producing the meaning and rules of love. But would this mean that it could also co-consume it as well?
And on another note, how can one make up rules about something as undefinable as love in the first place? It seems to always be an ongoing project.

Fluxus Experiment
December 19, 2008 by ric, under bio-feedback / cybernetics, experimental / technical logs, videos.
here is a quick overlay of some express experiments done using fluxus run through the pureDyne OS.
Fluxus is a live coding enviroment written on PLT scheme. Its a really great tool for live 3D modeling and its the easiest programme I’ve seen to render 3D shapes in code. Its also ridiculously easy to set whatever aspect you want to be affected by sound input, this of course can also be fragmented into bass, pitch, volume, etc…
It was written by Dave Griffiths who gave us at the Goldsmiths Digital Studios an introductory workshop on how to use it. Check out more info on fluxus here
