Save the Children, Norway recently launched a campaign aimed at creating awareness and discussion around a topic that most people don't want to talk about; sexually abused children. The startling reality is that victims hold in their experience in for 17 years on average, effectively suffocating in silence. We wanted to demonstrate the urgency and anxiety of how it feels to hold something in for too long, and the desperate need for relief. Our solution was to film kids holding their breath underwater for as long as they possibly could. The resulting films are unsettling to watch, but were effective in stirring the much needed discussion. The message communicated was that when everyone speaks up about the problem, the victims know that they are not alone - and are more likely to speak up for themselves sooner.nnThe campaign was featured on television, and in social media.nnAssociate Creative Director: Jason KinsellanSenior Creative: Espen Lie AndersennCreative: Emil HafslundnCreative: Sondre RøenDirector of Photography: Pål Mokkelbost LauklinMake Up: Trude Mokkelbost LauklinProject Manager: Kenneth Pedersen (CEO) / Tine MoenProducer: Rolf PedersennUV Camera: Amund LienGrading: FlambertnEditor: Oystein Dyb at Bacon   Less

A war to keep the peace. In the small village of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, there is unrest. For over a century, parishioners of two Greek Orthodox churches have engaged in a battle on Holy Saturday, firing more than 100,000 homemade rockets at each other’s churches once the sun goes down.nnThis film is a reflection of a sense of devotion that feels lost in the modern world. Seeing people with so much passion for the craft and tradition of rocket-making was invigorating to witness while filming. The idea of giving your heart and soul over to something that you love is at the core of the story. We’re all after something we can give our lives to, something that can help create deeper connections with each other. It’s strange to think that this tradition can do it – but that’s a reality for many in Vrontados. They live and breathe rockets, and that’s what brings them together, especially during their Easter holiday.nnIts origin is unclear. One theory holds that churches on the island faked a civil war during the Turkish occupation so they could celebrate Easter without being plagued by war. Accordingly the ruse worked, as the Turks kept a safe distance, allowing the villagers to attend Easter Mass.nn--nnProduction Company / Creative Collective: Variable nDirector: Salomon LigthelmnDirector of Photography: Khalid MohtasebnPhantom Camera Cinematographer: Jonathan BregelnExecutive Producer: Tyler GinternProducer: Alex FriedmannProduction Supervisor: Paige DeMarconPhantom Tech / 1st Assistant Camera / DIT: Jeff LevinenArt Director / Gaffer / Grip: Brad BurkenFixer: Eleni FanariotounRC Helicopter: Snaproll Media / www.snaprollmedia.comnnPost Production: VariablenEditor: Salomon LigthelmnStory Consultant: Spyros DahliasnColorist: Sal Malifatano @ Nice ShoesnSound Mix / Sound Design: Defacto Soundnn--nnwww.WeAreVariable.com

Since the first telescopes we earthlings have been fascinated by our neighbouring red planet. Deep river valleys, vast deltas and traces of debris flows, suggest a wet past on Mars. After many wild theories of mainly astronomers on the occurrence of water and life on Mars, geoscientists decided to get involved. And they came to very different conclusions. The planet seems to have been very dry over the last millions of years. But Tjalling de Haas suggests that the traces of recent debris flows indicate there still should be fluid water on the surface of Mars once in a while.nnProduced by Fast FactsnWith the support of: Utrecht University with financial support of the Space Office of the The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)nnThanks to: Ernst Hauber (DLR), Germari de Villiers (UU), Steven de Jong (UU), George Postma (UU), Fysisch Geografisch Laboratorium (UU), the Total Environmental Simulator (Universiteit van Hull)nWith images of: Maarten Kleinhans, Wouter Marra, Tjalling de Haas, German Aerospace Center (DLR), ESA, NASA, ESOnnMade by: Jasmijn Snoijink 2015nIn cooperation withnCamera, editing & compositing: Jonathan Massey | Persistent VisionnMusic: Daan van WestnGraphic design: SproetS   Less

Daniel Rozinn"Darwinian Rotating Lines Mirror", 2014nvideo camera, custom software, computer, 46" screenndimensions variable, horizontal or verticalnnThis is the third piece in the series of Darwinian Software Mirrors. In these works programmed “evolutionary pressure” pushes the artworks to resemble the viewer's mirrored image. Engaging the viewer with interactive response, each work varies the formal properties of line, luminosity, and tempo, as screen-based pictures are built improvisationally.nnThe basis of the software in this series is Darwin's theory of random mutations followed by natural selection as the basis of evolution. In the case of Darwinian Rotating Lines Mirror, the total randomness of the earlier pieces in the series is replaced by a more methodical approach where the software presents lines on the screen in a rotating sequence and ascending brightness and selects a portion of these lines according to their contribution to the creation of the viewer’s image. The result is an unfolding process of materialization as detail after detail is revealed in an ever changing display that resembles a furry substance. The piece cycles through this process every few seconds starting a totally new evolution cycle every time.nnFilmed and edited by Victoria Sendra.   Less

Cherise Morris Visits Sonic Watermelons, Discusses Prison Divestment

Cherise Morris Visits Sonic Watermelons To Discuss Divesting from Prisons and Dismantling the Prison Industrial Complexnnby Reza Corinne CliftonnnPROVIDENCE, RI - "Columbia First US University To Divest from Private Prisons." That was the title and topic of a June 23, 2015 article written by Jenn M. Jackson, a writer who focuses on politics, news, and culture as the Assistant Editor for The Black Youth Project (BYP) - where the article appeared. BYP is an organization and multimedia news blog that serves as a "platform that highlights the voices and ideas of black millennials" by working with young people on "producing research about the ideas, attitudes, decision making, and lived experiences of black youth." nnI've been following and admiring the work of BYP for years, and I'm frequently pulled in by their headlines. That was the case in this instance too, but this time I was also interested due to the movement-building I've observed and individual relationships I have with at least a dozen scholars and activists working on "reforming prisons," "abolishing prisons," ending "legal slavery," dismantling the "prison industrial complex," and "ending the school to prison pipeline." nnAccording to Jackson, the actions followed a period in which "Columbia held approximately 220,000 shares in a company called G4S, the world’s largest private security firm, and Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the largest private prison company in the country." The policy-change, explains Jackson, "sets a precedent regarding how universities in this country align themselves with private corporations." She goes on to say that "[w]hen those business firms are harmful, violent, and exploitative of certain racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual groups, these schools should seriously consider what their financial support for these companies means to students, staff, and alumni."nnWhat does this mean as far as the movement and awareness-raising happening nationally and globally? What are the other trends - historically and currently - we should be examining as we talk about racial disparities in prisons and problems within the prison industrial complex? "And what role do private prisons play in exacerbating incarceration rates and abuses faced by prisoners?nnAt Columbia, it was many students "who protested via sit-ins, teach-ins, and other public displays of concern for the University’s involvement and support for private prisons," so to answer and discuss my questions, I reached out to Cherise Morris, a Brown University student and member of the campus organization Students Against the Prison Industrial Complex (SAPIC). In addition to her organizing work, Morris recently published an informative and artistic zine to provide "a brief introduction to the massive entity that encompasses the prison-industrial complex, its historical legacy, and its modern manifestations inside of and beyond prison walls." Morris also works with a group of community members (including me) who are helping to found the Fred Hampton Institute for Resistance in Providence, in part, to provide community-based Black History courses. nnTo hear the conversation (and my newest podcast) featuring Morris speaking with me and my team during her June 30 visit to Sonic Watermelons, click on the Vimeo or Souncloud link or visit www.venussings.com.

Is being in love enough of a reason to stay together? After their four year relationship was torn apart by infidelity, Cal has moved out of the apartment he and Thom shared in Silver Lake. Against their better judgement they have started to see each other again, but they no longer trust each other (or themselves) to remain completely exclusive. Over the course of the season, Cal and Thom experiment with opening up their relationship in an effort to determine exactly what kind of couple they want to be. nnThe ensemble expands to include Cal’s eccentric sister Hillary (Brianna Brown) who descends upon his apartment after getting dumped by her boyfriend and immediately falls into an emotionally codependent relationship with Ian, who is on the rebound after finally breaking up with Kathy. Jeremy has fallen on hard times due to missed deadlines at work and too many trips to the marijuana dispensary, and has to move in with his sister Bri (Brea Grant) and her wife Vera (Vera Miao) and take care of their kids while trying get back on his feet. nnOverwhelmed with her responsibilities as breadwinner, Vera begins a sexual affair with Ian behind Bri’s back. Rounding out the ensemble is Quincy (Stephen Guarino), an eccentric party promoter who can't stop performing long enough to connect with Douglas (Willam Belli), an aspiring drag queen and door girl that might just be his match. Season two will explore what it means to fully commit yourself to another person, as relationships end, begin and change inexorably.   Less

In a world overloaded with data, it is difficult to make sense of the noise, and as arts organisations generate more data, new ways of seeing are needed.nnIn November 2014 we launched an open call for artists to create new work that explores the themes of networks, relationships, intermediaries and their impact on arts organisations. The artists chosen were to be given access to the prototype ArtsAPI tool and the data derived from the Social Network Analysis process that has so far been completed with seven leading arts organisations – Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Culture24, Red Eye, Blast Theory, Forma, FutureEverything, and Islington Mill.nnWe are thrilled to announce the commissioning of artists Ed Carter and David Cranmer, who have created a new work, Smoke Signals.nnSmoke Signals takes data beyond the confines of the screen to visualise digital interaction. Turning the data of seven arts organisations into a visual and sonic experience, Smoke Signals invokes a physical presence of data streams, with each signal and sound indicating the movements of data within the contemporary online network.nnTwelve smoke-ring cannons create a transient sculptural form inspired by the Polybius Square cypher. The sub-sonic frequencies used to create the rings are part of a broader evolving sound piece, with each tone and smoke ring relating to the communication activities of the ArtsAPI contributors. Using abstracted email archives as the dataset, a single central speaker affects the smoke rings where their paths cross, reflecting the activities of the contributing partners.nnAs such, turbulence affecting the smoke rings represents online interactions, resulting in a constantly evolving visual and sonic experience.nnThe inspiration behind ArtsAPI is the hypothesis that many arts organisations can generate, but can not effectively articulate or evidence, significant value through the relationships they create and sustain. With this commission, ArtsAPI steps beyond data visualisation, reports and infographics, towards work that explores the tangible presence of data.nnhttp://artsapi.comnhttp://futureeverything.org   Less

Permanent Education (a mural about the beauty of knowledge): A cooperation between Harmen de Hoop (artist) and Jan Ubøe (Mathematics and Statistics Professor, Norwegian School Of Economics). Produced "live" for Nuart Festival, Stavanger, Norway.nnJan Ubøe (Mathematics and Statistics Professor, Norwegian School Of Economics) gives a 30-minute lecture on the streets of Stavanger on the subject of option pricing.nnIntended as a form of ‘knowledge propaganda’, the performance contrasts with the aesthetic values of mural art which is prevalent at street art festivals around the world. Here, the Professor’s equations – written in chalk on a public wall acting as a surrogate blackboard – allude to the dearth of interest in 'knowledge' or 'complexity' in the public domain.nnDrawing on Black and Scholes explanation of how to price options, Ubøe will explain how banks can eliminate risk when they issue options. Black and Scholes explained how banks (by trading continuously in the market) can meet their obligations no matter what happens. The option price is the minimum amount of money that a bank needs to carry out such a strategy.nnWhile the core argument is perfectly sound, it has an interesting flaw. If the market suddenly makes a jump, i.e. reacts so fast that the bank does not have sufficient time to reposition their assets, the bank will be exposed to risk. This flaw goes a long way to explain the devastating financial crisis.nnThis theory, and similar other theories, led banks to believe that risk no longer existed, so why not lend money to whoever is in need of money? In the end the losses peaked at 13,000 billion dollars - more than the total profits from banking since the dawn of time.nnWhile the core part of the theory is incomprehensible to non-experts, the lecture will state the mathematical equations behind the theory and detail the construction of the trading strategy.nnABOUT THE ARTISTnnHarmen de Hoop is a conceptual artist whose work mostly takes place in the public space. He seeks out site-specific locations (from libraries to busy public squares) for his anonymous and illegal interventions and performances, which he then documents and presents in exhibitions after the event.nnThrough his work, Harmen de Hoop demonstrates the implicit tension between the ways in which the government would like the public space to be used and the ways in which citizens often unexpectedly use it. With his interventions he breaches authoritarian systems of control to bring forward another, often more humane, perspective. Ostensibly, de Hoop encourages us to look at ourselves and our environment with fresh eyes, andna renewed sense of humour.   Less

Fiber Optic Ocean conveys the consequences of technology's invasion of oceans. nnThe piece procedurally composes music made with trombone and choral voices generated by live data coming from the live sharks and human use of internet. The group of fiber optic cables going through the sharks blink at a rate based on speed of live sharks tracked with GPS data. Fiber optic threads composing the ocean blink based on the speed of the internet, symbolized with the number of tweets per second. nnHuman beings’ selfish invasion of nature expands to the depth of oceans. Underwater surveillance cameras are revealing that sharks are drawn to fiber optic cables and biting down on them. One theory is that the magnetic field around the fiber optic cables is stimulating the receptors in sharks’ mouths and luring them to perceive the cables as prey. nnThe current struggle between sharks and technology corporations is a pristine symbol of the ongoing conflict between nature and culture. The two sides clash nose to nose on a thin fiber optic line.nnFiber Optic Ocean nAn Interactive Installation by Ozge Samancin2015nnData Visualization, Sound Design, Coding: Adam Snydern3D Modeling, 3D Printing, and Installation Assistance: Michael VillanDMX Hardware Solutions: Chaz EvansnInstallation Assistance: Lilian Glynis SmithnShark Bones Research Resource: The Field Museum, Caleb McMahannDocumentation Video: Deborah LibbynTime lapse photography: Code Snippets: Adam Snyder nShark tracking: Ocearch.orgnUnderwater shark footage: @talan3 on YoutubenIllumination Materials: Minar Illumination, Chinan3D Printing: ShapewaysnMold Making Materials: Smooth-OnnnnThanksnNoa Younse, Jennifer V.

What happens when a generation of Christian youth pledge sexual abstinence until marriage? Since the 1990s, the Purity Movement has been at the center of the national sexual conversation extending past the pew and all the way into the Oval Office. Including some of the leading experts on Evangelicalism today, Give Me Sex Jesus invites you into the guilt, pleasure, shame, and humor of sorting out faith and sex in America.nn(Not officially rated, but this is a PG-13 film.

Skyline is a code-based generative music video I directed and programmed for the track Skyline (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/skyline-single/id1039135793) by Karma Fields (https://soundcloud.com/karmafields). The entire music video consists of multiple stages that are programmed and generated using Processing.nnOne of the core principles for generating the visual patterns in Skyline is Voronoi tessellation. This geometric model dates back to 1644 in René Descartes’s vortex theory of planetary motion, and has been widely used by computational artists, for example, Robert Hodgin (https://vimeo.com/207637), Frederik Vanhoutte (https://vimeo.com/86820638), Diana Lange (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dianalange/sets/72157629453008849/), Jon McCormack (http://jonmccormack.info/~jonmc/sa/artworks/voronoi-wall/), etc.nnIn Skyline's systems, seeds for generating the diagram are sorted into various types of agents following certain behaviors and appearance transformations. They are driven by either the song's audio spectrum with different customized layouts, or animated sequence of the vocalist, collectively forming a complex and organic outcome.   Less

Conversations oscillate between family, politics and sexuality in a voyeuristic contemplation of prison life.nnSHORT OF THE WEEK! nFilm ShortagenNorthside Film FestivalnNitehawk Shorts Festivaln---------nKatie Metcalfe - (Shorts of the Week, Sundance Film Festival)nn"The fishbowl atmosphere of prisons have always provided an interesting filmic environment, and their tendency to be a hotbed for drama, violence and transcendence have captivated the cinematic imagination for decades. In this short documentary, Director Theodore Collatos strips everything back to the natural theme of the prison experience – quite simply, the concept of ‘doing time’. nnIn cinema-verité style, we’re invited to eavesdrop into conversations taking place across three cells. Collatos’s technique of allowing us to hear the subjects’ voices (before seeing them onscreen) builds a sense of immersion, placing us as an invisible voyeur within the prison. The static positioning of the camera draws attention to facial nuances, movements, pacing and gestures that significantly enhance the dialogue. nnTime is actually a scene that didn’t make it into Collatos’s feature film Dipso, about a man who gets released from prison then attempts to reunite with his family and follow his dream of being a stand-up comedian. Collatos was compelled to cut the material into a short film, mainly because “I think the prison system is in major crisis and it troubles me how this country has made a prison-for-profit model out of our citizens. My hope was to explore the humanity of the prisoners rather than an exploitative, ‘Cops’ styled representation of people”. nnHis approach is to construct stories in a documentary fashion, whereby the story is found in the editing in order to keep the film fresh and most of the conversations are improvised by the subjects. “The two Caucasian inmates had a more specific direction in mind as I wanted to explore the fact that the prison system houses many people who really should be in a mental health care facility and not in prison. The other pairings of inmates, I wanted to hear where their thoughts would go first before making a specific direction. I used an observational style because I wanted a freedom to occur with the non-actors and I think if you’re filming real close and in peoples faces, its more likely that you’ll affect their performance. I try and create an environment where people can speak freely and express themselves in any way they feel fit”.nnhttps://www.shortoftheweek.com/2015/07/21/time/   Less

OSCAR© SHORTLISTEDnnGOYA WINNER, SPANISH ACADEMY AWARDS 2014, BEST SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILMnQualified by Spanish Ministry of Culture as “Specially recommended for the promotion of gender equity”nProduction contact: produccion@kanakifilms.com / Distribution contact: kimuak@filmotecavasca.comnnLife is really tough in the bleak Cerro Rico mining district in Potosi, Bolivia. This is true for the men risking their lives going down into the mine shafts looking for silver ore, and also for the women, who are viewed by men as fair game. Lucia (40), Ivonne (16) and Abigail (17) talk about their daily lives, in which they are constantly dealing with violence, much of it sexual. Lucia works as a night guard and often has to protect herself by setting off TNT. She wanders the inhospitable area accompanied by a pack of dogs. Ivonne always carries rocks with her to throw at potential attackers. But they are not even safe at home. "You can’t even trust your own brothers and father," Ivonne explains. Abigail is the only woman in the area who goes down into the mines herself. She knows that as a minor she is not officially allowed to work there, but nobody has ever told her about her rights. The camera follows her down the pitch-black shafts, where the miners pray to a demon. “There’s no god in the mine,” says Abigail. In an area where not even weeds can grow, these tough and vulnerable women survive with a mix of courage and dynamite.nn- KIMUAK Basque Shortfilms Catalogue 2013 (Best 7 shortfilms 2013, Basque Country)n- International Premiere: DOCS DF, México, October 2013n- European Premiere: IDFA, Amsterdam, 2013

These include stars and galaxies, as well as entirely new classes of objects, such as radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and masers. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation, regarded as evidence for the Big Bang theory, was made through radio astronomy." nnThe large radio telescope at Green Bank is where scientists first attempted to “listen” to presence of extraterrestrials in the galaxy.

Submissive to deep-rooted emotions and assumptions, Sevdaliza finds herself imprisoned in her own paintings and sculptures. Can she remain unflawed? She has become nothing more than a statue surrounded by surreal environments. Identity becomes a game, however she remains in control of the computed bodies. She breaks the stereotypes of gender roles and constructs to manifest a different notion of cyborgian identity. Sevdaliza’s husky vocals float over a mechanical bed that excites masculine energy and sexual adrenaline. As the song continues, a rhythmic tension builds slowly into a chaotic climax. Every retribution becomes more intense and personal, yet she isn’t able to break from that obscure statue of a woman.nnsoundcloud: http://bit.ly/1LOBID2nspotify: http://spoti.fi/1KXVqXonwebsite: http://bit.ly/1JsCS1hnfacebook: http://on.fb.me/1NJjrHPnnsupported by Foxrender Farmnhttp://www.foxrenderfarm.comnsupported by Fuel 3Dnhttp://www.fuel-3d.com nsupported by Zahra Reijsnhttp://www.zahrareijs.comnsupported by Muckynhttp://www.mucky.nlnnAbout Pussykrewnhttp://niochnioszki.netnhttps://www.facebook.com/pvssykrevvnhttps://instagram.com/pvssykrevv   Less

Mensa had recently joined Kanye West on stage at the BRIT Awards and was, along with the rest of his SAVEMONEY crew, teetering on the edge of breaking out in a major way. As Mensa's go-to producer and friend-since-grammar-school Stefan Ponce recalls, "He really did what he always knew he was going to do. Like, damn, this guy is really about to change his life."nCiting the versatility of SAVEMONEY's sound and the breadth of their projects, the documentary's director Aaron Brown says that, "It was cool to see what [Mensa and the SAVEMONEY guys] were doing, because they were doing something that has a lot more dimension." Brown spent time with Vic in the studio, where there was work to be done and fun to be had; followed him through the streets of Hyde Park, where he recalls seeing the body of a slain classmate as a teenager and where he is now stopped by admirers on the street; and he filmed him freestyling on a subway platform.n"I had the idea of trying to explore the genre of documentary, just trying to pick the pieces apart of a rapper," Brown says of the dramatic subway station session. "I was thinking of an acapella verse as a voiceover in a documentary, that's what it was. Just trying to freshen it up. We've all seen a bunch of rap videos and a bunch of documentaries, so it was asking, how can we think about them as one thing."nWith nearly one hundred issues behind us, we are proud to present our first video cover story Down To Start A Riot featuring Vic Mensa and SAVEMONEY.

Shashi Shekhar discusses "Spatial Computing" (http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/1/195727), a Contributed Article in the January 2016 CACM.nnnn---nSCRIPTnn00:00 So here's the theory. A point is unique. A line is the shortest distance between points. A plane is a perfect surface, and simple coordinates describe a sphere. It's easy to compute spatial relations in this imaginary world.n00:19 But the reality of our Earth disagrees. The globe bulges at the middle; the land plane has mountains and valleys; roads wiggle and waver. For this world of the real, a new sort of computing is needed.n00:35 Join us as Shashi Shekhar discusses how computers have come to understand the peculiar dimensionality of our real world, in Spatial Computing.n00:48 [Intro graphics/music]n00:56 Minneapolis sits alone, over 500 kilometers from the nearest major city. But make your way here and you'll find the University of Minnesota's Spatial Computing Research Group, led by Shashi Shekhar. The group confronts quandaries posed by our often messy physical world.n01:17 DR. SHEKHAR: So latitude and longitude is a coordinate system centered at the center of the Earth -- it's a spherical coordinate system. ... But we all know that Earth actually is not a perfect sphere. ... So U.S. GPS measures ellipsoid and uses one. Europeans measure with their own satellites and they tend to be more accurate -- they have a different ellipsoid. ... So for example, if you think about the major landmark in Greenwich, England, the English ellipsoid and the GPS can be 100 meters off at that point.n01:51 But where the physical world provides challenges, it also offers opportunities that spatial computing can exploit. For example, the technique of autocorrelation.n02:03 DR. SHEKHAR: In other words, nearby things are not independent of each other. ... So if you try to imagine: What would physical world look like if each point had elevation which were independent of all other points, including its neighbors? [Laughs] Spikes, yeah? It's the Bryce Canyon in Utah!n02:22 Features of the physical world dictate which algorithms are fastest and best. These results are sometimes at odds with classical assumptions.n02:32 DR. SHEKHAR: So for example in the road map storage, road map database. Back then, everyone was using geometric techniques. ... But when we started ranking those methods to store road maps, it turns out the ranking measure was based on graph theoretical properties, the number of edges cut. And we saw, "Oh! That's a huge blind spot in our literature."n02:53 That literature has progressed, with advances in spatial computing affecting *all* physical spaces, not just geographic ones.n03:02 DR. SHEKHAR: One could also say that your medicine should de delivered to only specific locations in your body. ... So you can imagine that, in the future, these medicines will be delivered by some carrier molecule or devices which will be able to know their location in human body in terms of organs.n03:21 But even if restricted to geographic applications, advances in spatial computing could make a big difference.n03:29 DR. SHEKHAR: So we live on the surface of the Earth. Lots of our lives is affected by that. That's what spatial computing is about.n03:38 Find out more in the contributed article, "Spatial Computing", in the January 2016 issue of Communications of the ACM.n03:52 [Outro and credits]   Less

Interactive kinetic audiovisual installationn nThe main idea of the installation is the reference to the Wave as the basis of all audiovisual art. The project draws from the theory of Wave–particle duality which considers the light to be a particle and a wave at the same time. In this case, the notion of the “wave” is uniform for the sound wave, light wave and a “tangible” kinetic wave with wide amplitude, physically presented in the space as stretched cables moved by a system of motors. The piece also refers to the topic of physical modeling of the wave processes which take place in various media and materials: “string”, “data flow”, “visualisation of sound”, “sonification of light” etc. In general, the installation can be viewed as a kinetic spacial light installation which reacts to the presence of audience and creates an autonomous sound and light composition.nnmore info - http://vtol.cc/filter/works/wave-is-my-nature   Less

Coming soon to Blu-ray from Mondo Macabro! nn*note that the quality of this video is not indicative of the quality of the eventual blu ray release*nnMiklos Jancso (1921-2014) was one of the giants of European art cinema. He had been making films in his native Hungary since 1958, but in 1966 he exploded onto the world cinema scene with THE ROUND UP. The international critics had never seen anything like it. Combining cinematography with choreography, Jancso films crowds of soldiers on horseback, peasants, and partisans as they perform a ritualistic dance of love, life and death on the bleak Hungarian plains. Ostensibly a costume piece about the 1848 revolt against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the film was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on the aborted 1956 Hungarian uprising against Soviet Russia.nnOver his next five features he developed and refined a hypnotic and fluid technique via long, sweeping camera moves and crane shots. Filming in color, his productions became like dazzling "happenings", combining music, dance, naked bodies, horses, men in uniform and spontaneous bursts of singing into a seemingly eternal tracking shot. His films were widely screened at festivals and in art house cinemas. His was a name to drop, an influence to quote.nnThen, in the early 1970s, Jancso moved to Italy and began working with new collaborators. Times were changing. It was a post-1968 world and a new explicitness was being seen onscreen, coupled with a certain sense of betrayal about the ideals that had seemed so achievable only a few years before. PRIVATE VICES PUBLIC VIRTUES, made in 1975, reflected both these factors.nnThe story is based on the famous Mayerling incident where Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria was found dead beside his 17 year old lover in an apparent joint suicide. However as with his earlier productions, the director only used history as a jumping off point. The film is pure Jancso. The long tracking shots are there, the horses are there, the naked bodies are there, as are the snatches of folk music and group singing. nnThe main difference between this film and his more acclaimed earlier works is that it features a host of increasingly bizarre sexual incidents. When it screened as an official entry in the 1976 Cannes Festival and viewers caught on to some of the shocking things that it contained ... well, let's just say that it caused a scandal and in some ways Jancso's reputation never recovered. Like Borowczyk before him, he was almost written off as a one time great film maker who had strayed too far into porn and lost his artistic mojo.nnIn fact PRIVATE VICES PUBLIC VIRTUES now plays like an overlooked masterpiece. There really is nothing like it in world cinema. The controversy long behind us, we can see that this is one of those rare erotic productions where the point of the film lies in its excess. There's nothing gratuitous about it. Known in Germany as THE BIG ORGY (Die Grosse Orgie), this amazing piece of subversive 70s cinema has never been well treated on home video - pirated, cut and generally not given the respect it deserves. This new release from Mondo Macabro, a world Blu-ray exclusive taken from the original negative, will bring this forgotten classic of world cinema back into the spotlight. It's a film that, once seen will never be forgotten and it deserves a place in the home of all adventurous film lovers.   Less

Conversations_on_chaos is a project which deepens on the idea of order as the emergence of chaos. It uses chaos theory and elements from dynamic system studies and experimentation in order to create a system where two machines hold a chaotic conversation about chaos. The installation is comprised of two Random Oscillating Electromagnetic Pendulums or ROEMPs (a modification of ROMPs - instruments used to study chaos theory and dynamic systems in scientific experimental setups) and a computer running a custom software which implements Markov's Chains algorithm in order to enable the machine with a human like language processing tool.nnThe installation works as an infinite loop with each cycle containing two main moments: the chaotic dynamics, when the pendulums operate and talk to each other via binary I/Os, and the data processing and text to speech engine operation, when the previously generated chaos becomes the voice for a human like conversation between the entities. After each cycle, the previously generated idea of chaos becomes the new starting point from which a new, and in a sense a more evolved concept about chaos, emerges. One way of thinking about this process is as thought generator which starts almost as a schizophrenic voice and evolves cycle by cycle into a rational artificial entity.   Less

A Muslim American teenager struggles to reconcile desire with family obligations. Hala is a proof-of-concept for a feature-length film that explores coming-of-age as a Muslim American. nnFrom Yasmeen Gharnit's review of Hala on NYLON.com: nn"The new short film, written and directed by Minhal Baig, follows a 16-year-old Muslim teenager Hala (Tess Granfield) as she attempts to explore her sexuality and identity while growing up in a conservative, religious household. The film starkly opens as we see Hala masturbate, only to be interrupted by her mother asking why she missed suhoor, a pre-dawn meal eaten while fasting during Ramadan. Then, while skateboarding at a park, she meets Jesse (Jasper Newman), and the two share an immediate connection. While she embarks on a relationship with him, she sees her parents’ relationship disintegrate as they argue about religious guidelines and the way they raise Hala. Eventually, it becomes impossible for Hala to exist between her two separate “lives.” In 14 minutes, the film somehow captures more than the aforementioned feature films do in their entirety."nnLearn more about the film here:nhttp://www.halathefilm.com/nnAnd like us on Facebook: nhttps://www.facebook.com/halathefilmnnAny interest or inquiries regarding the feature length film should be directed to Ari Lubet at 3 Arts Entertainment or myself on Twitter (@minhalbaig) or email: minhalbaig AT icloud DOT com.nnRead the review on NYLON.com: nhttp://www.nylon.com/articles/hala-short-filmnnFEATURINGnTess GranfieldnNina NayebinAlfred AdelpournJasper NewmannnWRITER/DIRECTORnMinhal BaignnPRODUCERSnSara NassimnConstanza CastronnEXECUTIVE PRODUCERSnWilliam R.

SURVIVING INTERNATIONAL BOULEVARD reveals the complex reality of domestic child sex trafficking through the intersecting experiences of two local women from Oakland, California. Driving along International Boulevard’s dark streets, a mother recounts her own wild determination to rescue her 15-year-old daughter from a sex trafficker "boyfriend". Night after night, combing the dangerous streets of East Oakland, she never gives up on her child. Switching to daylight, a nonprofit child advocate and survivor of sexual exploitation shares her 14 years of experience helping young victims get the help they so desperately need. Driving along The Blade as they call it, Sarai T. Smith Mazariegos, co-founder of MISSSEY.org, breaks down the raw truth about victims and traffickers as it unfolds on the street around her.nnDirected & Produced bynSian Taylor GowannnExecutive ProducernJohn ZappettininnCinematographersnKent KessingernAnna ShennKeith E.

A commentary on modern romance and the dynamics of having casual sex with someone you don’t love - focusing on the feeling of not being able to voice specific desires because of the lack of intimacy since the ultimate goal of the relationship is sex, not emotional support or any sort of connection. The refrainment from asking for more because of the fear of coming off as too attached, and creating a relationship that is more than what was unspokenly “agreed” uponnn …But still having the desire to have affection and attention that is not limited to just sexual stimulation, and craving a connection that is not as emotionally removed as sex is in this context, while trying to not let any emotional investment be involved.nn---nnMUSIC: Steven Universe Full Disclosure 8-Bit Remix by terminallyCapricious nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr7PPmTaTyg   Less
