----REMAKE OF TONY CONRAD'S THE FLICKER - ABSOLUTE FLICKER, DIGITAL VERSION, EXACT COPY BUT WITH PURE BLACK/WHITE FRAMES. DIGITAL FORMATTED INTRO TEXT CREDITS. NO GRAIN, NO DIRT, NO SCRATCHES - The Flicker is a 1966 experimental film by Tony Conrad. The film consists of only 5 different frames: a warning frame, two title frames, a black frame, and a white frame. It changes the rate at which it switches between black and white frames to produce stroboscopic effects.

SOUND?   
 
Conrad spent several months designing the film before shooting it in a matter of days. He produced and distributed The Flicker with the help of Jonas Mekas. The film is now recognized as a key work of structural filmmaking.

The film starts with a warning message, which reads:<blockquote>WARNING. The producer, distributor, and exhibitors waive all liability for physical or mental injury possibly caused by the motion picture "The Flicker."
 
Since this film may induce epileptic seizures or produce mild symptoms of shock treatment in certain persons, you are cautioned to remain in the theatre only at your own risk. A physician should be in attendance.</blockquote>The warning is accompanied by the ragtime tune "Raggedy Ann" played on an old gramophone. The film then goes on to a frame that says "Tony Conrad Presents," and then to a frame that says "The Flicker," at which point it starts. The screen goes white, then after a short while, the screen flickers with a single black frame. This is repeated, at varying rate, again and again until it creates a strobe effect, for which the film is titled. This continues until the film stops abruptly.
 
 
(veeeery interesting description - use it somehow?)
 
I wanted to understand flicker effect/device in experimental film. Why not to make a cover/copy/exact reproduction of The Flicker? Just like young painters/sculptors used to copy masterpieces from the past.

(Paul Sharits’ Axiomatic Granularity )


Layouts series

draw basic structure/layouts/interface of webpages - grey simplified shapes (just variations of rectangles?) on white background - photoshop? or maybe with tracing paper on screen


24x1x24

select 24 random, unrelated images (with the same look-vibe-quality - probably some sort of amateur digital photographs) - or a 1 (or 24 second) 24 fps found video

-

i want them to be images as images, nothing more than that

-

play around with the basic structure of moving images / cinema - 1 unit of time (1 second) is the sum of 24 unrelated images projected on a white/black screen - 24 seconds of video is 24 frames x 1 second x 24 seconds

elements:

24 images

black screen

white screen

1 second

frame counter

timecode - timer

counter delle immagini - ogni clip ha il suo numero 1-24

e.g.

24 images in 1 second - every possible order of these 24 images

24 images, every image for 1 second

1 image for 1/24s every 24 seconds

...

play with these structure/elements, make it evident / if I use 24 second video it might become a super long piece. might be interesting though.


(might result a bit too close to structuralist filmmaking - but worth a try)

lumiere train arriving in the station reference as one of the iconic moment of early cinema? (arrived d'un train a la Gare de la ciotat) - variations on -

reference to that precise breakthrough - literally - moment of cinema filtered through digital culture, home video, internet sharing, dissemination of images


make a loose reference

24 different train footage, 1 frame from each, to make a 1 second 24fps sequence


play with perception of time - space - fictional time and space - with the structure of moving image - 24 unrelated images per seconds, similar but different in time and space

Video is a ve---ry practical material



In case of necessity please break


Series/Compilation of of short loops made of pixelated screen banding of low resolution versions of early avantgarde films (richter, ruttman ...) - possible workflow: film them playing on a LED screen, make the loops in davinci, print them back on 16mm film, project them as 16mm loops



(Nick Briz similarly manipulated the codecs of various online upload-video hosting sites to create Black Compressed (2009), four minutes and thirty three seconds of solid black video, compressed to moving Richteresque rectangles, a derivation of John Cage’s seminal 4’33’’ from 1952.)
