trascription of interview
interviewer: Cristina; interviewee: Yuzhen
- What are you working on now /or What have you been working on?
I was working mainly on appropriation of exsited films but I am more looking on how I can use those already existed content to create my own narration in a way. In general, I think what I am looking on it is the pumutation that I can provide the spectators a way to interpretate the piece in a different way.
- How did you become interested in the cinematic language?
From Cristina:
How would you describe your work?
-The films you are working with as material can all be characterized as closed systems. However by cutting them up and introducing them into a database you are playing with their delimitations and confines. What made you choose to experiment with them as opposed to user-generated material?
-How did you become interested in the cinematic language?
-In your work the key element seems to be interaction with the audience. At one point you mentioned the permutational quality of the search function, how do you see this in connection with the affective experience?
-You make a few references to cut up techniques and other methods of generating randomness, including code. What is the role of the algorithm in your work?
-What kind of environment would you like your works to be shown in?
-What research strands would you like to follow in the future?
