A curated exhibition looking at the ways in which artists and cultural practitioners react to the screen through 3 categories "Act" "Abstract" or "Interact."
Chris Marker’s film La Jetée (1962) pioneered an experimentation of the analog approach to the moving image. Marker’s thirty-minute science fiction combines a series of black and white still photographs, through an optical printer, a device typically used to restore and transfer old footage. Accompanied by a challenging narration, this film presents the research experiments that were conducted with a machine that enabled the seeing of distant imagery across time. ‘This was the aim of the experiments: to send emissaries into Time, to summon the Past and Future to the aid of the Present…the inventors were now concentrating on men given to very strong mental images. If they were able to conceive or dream another time, perhaps they would be able to live in it.’
In 2010, artists where invited to submit videos in response to an article printed in The Telegraphic Journal and Electrical Review (1889), which described a proposed method to develop a machine that would enable Seeing to a Distance by Electricity. Each artist was given an outline of the exhibition’s parameters: that all works would be confined to a 4:3 aspect ratio, and that processing from HD back to play in on analog CRT format would result in a loss of image quality.
