Both of the readings as well as watching the film Violin Power, explained the order of the history of Expanded Cinema more completely as a still evolving art. Film, then Electronic,then Digital. And yet each medium combines with each other or continues to experiment with ever changing digital means to continue to create something new. I especially liked Jackie Hatfield's explanation--" that artists were free-flowing individuals experimenting with different kinds of media,and more often than not were working with-and expanding both technologies". ( video and film ). -that's what Steina was doing while her husband was busy creating and programming the waveform--talk about mixing old and new! As a couple they seem more "present day kind of artists"...combining art and technology--with old and new experiments--rather than more history..
The electronic part is still a bit over my head but I am interested.- Interested especially in how it relates to a new kind of music...technology's music making itself is very much like Steina's cameras "seeing" for themselves. Cool.
