Fragments 2011, New York

Fragments, a continuing collaborative global video-installation, will be at the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, New York, April 6 and 7, 2011.

Saturday Screening, August 7

The August 7 screening at Berkeley Commonplace will utilize the photo/video sharing Web site, Flickr, as a source for numerous short movies to be presented in three parts.

Each of the three parts will loosely follow the Flickr ‘gallery’ format (up to 18 works), and will, for the most part, abide the Flickr video duration limitation of 90 seconds. This will result in each part having a duration of between 20 and 30 minutes. There will be two intermissions.

Following the third part, there will be an ‘open’ screening, in which members of the audience will be given the opportunity to present their own short movies.

Saturday Screenings

Many thanks to all who attended the Saturday screenings. Special thanks to the popcorn providers, and to B.S. Wise for the live-online broadcast.

Saturday Screenings

Saturdays, June 5 and 12, there will be screenings beginning at 8 p.m. Among the featured films will be a new international collaboration, 2o Twenty No. 1, A Strange Land.

Ten collaborators from seven countries were asked to contribute a 20-second clip based on a 20-second clip that would immediately precede theirs. Each collaborator made two clips, resulting in a seven minute movie featuring twenty sequential, spontaneous, free-associative 20-second ‘scenes.’

Also screening will be three new music videos by San Francisco band, Slowness.

Vishnu’s Secret Saturday

Live music and projection, Saturday, April 17, featuring Vishnu’s Secret.

Theatre Space

Fragments

Fragments, an international video collaboration instigated by Michael Chang (Denmark) features contributions by fifteen artists from ten countries. The videos will be projected onto a white, 3D screen built of scraps and junk, measuring approximately 5 x 7 feet (152 x 213 cm).

Fragments is composed of three parts, each built in a sequential, free associative manner. Each contibutor has provided a 1-2 minute portion in response to the 1-2 minute portion of the previous contributor. The initial portion of each part was made “from scratch.”

Also featured on the 3D screen will be local cityscape time-lapse movies by B.S. Wise.
