Mayte Escobar Huellas 1:17 2014
Huellas is
a video diptych where the two parts have a conversation with each other. The
video looks at the states that compose Mexico and the United States and
portrays a sense of all those that have crossed the border as embodied
travelers.
Yoshi Sakai Britney Scale Surgery 4:14 2008
In Britney Scale Surgery, the scale becomes the patient and undergoes
surgery to reverse the importance placed on weight and self-perception. The
ordinary bathroom scale, which causes anxiety about insecurities in our
appearance, becomes the victim of absurd scrutiny in my alternate
universe. The surgical procedure is
simultaneously conducted to Britney Spears’ music video performance, as she is
constantly scrutinized by the media for her debacles concerning her weight and
appearance in the alternate Hollywood universe.
McLean Fahnestock Indeterminate Form 0/0 2:47 2011
One
of the seven video murals in the Indeterminate
Forms series, silent looping videos designed to be projected at a large
scale. Taking their names from one of the seven mathematical expressions of
infinity and playing upon the loop, each video features an athletic feat,
always an extremely difficult position or move, pushed to absurdity–in this
case synchronized swimmers spiral breathlessly underwater. A comment on the
athlete’s commitment and prowess as well as our unrealistic expectations of
continuous development. Ever stronger, ever faster.

2009 music

MOCA Optic
Nerve XI Legend is a personal narrative originating from the 1985 movie Legend,
about a young woman attempting to save the last unicorn on Earth. Borrowing the
subtitles for the movie's sounds, which appear in parentheses (owl hooting) (wolf
howling) (unicorn whinnying), I construct my own Pagan romance. Now the
isolated sounds of gallops and cries invade my footage, and the story begins
anew. What tumultuous maelstroms of good and evil unfold in sound's
concentrated energies! See the woman and the unicorn dangerously trodding the
rivers of darkness once again. They almost get lost in its brutality. Yet sound
itself, that splendid flame of every story, burns the film down to its last
song of sorrow and joy. The terrible sea falls away, and unicorn and woman
emerge unscathed, the final romance of light bursting out of ashes. They become
almost one. Now Legend is my soul's own imperial tune, and most true.
Clare Kelly Solo Interiors 1:47 2013
Solo Interiors features the artist performing
improvisational movement in her mother's home, on the day her ex-husband filed
for divorce.
Mayte Escobar Chips & Salsa :30 2013
Chips and Salsa taps into an adaptation of not only videos studied through
Youtube but also the raw
interpretation of the rhythm that courses through my body. There was a yearning
to feel the earth on my feet. It made me feel closer to Pacha Mama (mother
earth.)
Molly Shea Misogynist
Massage 6:03 2014
Misogynist
Massage is a video by
artist Molly Jo Shea, which was originally included as part of an immersive
experience where the viewer was massaged while watching this video 2 inches
away from their face. Since Feminist perspectives are often not easy ones to
digest, the video takes cues from New Age self-improvement aesthetics and seeks
to fluctuate from soft caresses and deliberate jabs. For the full experience
rub the shoulders of the person sitting in front of you (with their
permission).
Isabelle Lutterodt Meditation on Self 1:45
unmeasured is a
series of meditations that explore heartbreak within a physical and
psychological landscape. The work responds to Parker Palmer's idea that when
the heart breaks open it has a “new capacity to hold [my] pain and [my] joy and
a new capacity to hold the same in the larger world”. The series is part of an
ongoing attempt to hold the tension of heartbreak with compassion as the
physical and psychological landscapes reveal moments that contemplate resolve
and what “letting go” means.
Minkyung Choi Return 3:13 2013
Return is a short episode about gazing and being gazed upon.
Jennifer Stefanisko Unbetitelt 2:37
Unbetitelt
is a Super 8,
Kodachrome, b&w and hand processed. a B-movie on television, love,
conflict, renewal, nature and Wagner, that was originally produced under a
German alias.
