While Duncan White reminds us that "as reality and its representation take on equal status they offer us a multiple of perspectives" ...he uses an Andy Warhol film of Edie Sedgwick appearing to be in a conversation with a televised version of herself...--this can be done successfully with video technology. ( Lacy and I did a version of this for a video final project)... Duncan ends with merging thoughts with Jonathan Walley about the value of film in "unfixing the stable qualities of traditional cinema".
Jonathan Walley is blunt---Video does it for you, and Film you do it yourself. And he adds "raising mechanical error to an artistic value"--in other words...glitch it up. which perversely restores the meaning of film..."vitality in a digital age".....I like that.--old school glitch restoring film to a new artistic height. I actually agree here with Jonathan Adams last post about using this in some new ways to restore a bankrupt culture to some new political awareness...etc...Maybe maybe...pretty sure we've explored the outer body plenty,-- time for some telepathic art projecting directly in your brain. ha. I saw a documentary about how our brains in fact put out an image- when concentrating on visualization of something- that can be picked up as an image by a brain scan.. Freaky to know our minds can be read/ scanned to see what pictures are in our heads. Keep it abstract people, lol.
