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

"beatmatch" train spotters footage with lumiere's film

1 sec when the train hits the left side of the frame

e come se tuttas la gente sulla banchina dei lumiere avesse preso in mano una camera e si fosse messa ognuna a filmare l'arrivo del proprio treno nella propria città

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.)

REMAKE OF TONY CONRAD'S THE FLICKER - ABSOLUTE FLICKER, DIGITAL VERSION, EXACT COPY BUT WITH PURE BLACK/WHITE FRAMES. 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.

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.
