"Bite The Eye That Sees You" -this is a flicker experiment. Unfortunately, youtube can't really handle it, but it works out decent enough. I plan to make more flicker videos that play with ideas of stereo-vision and relationships to audio. Eventually I'd like to show them as installations, really big and loud.
This is the first section of projected video in "Rough Guide to the Grotesque", the collaborative thesis project by Eben Lillie and myself. The piece premiered at The Living Theatre in April of 2008 and will be performed again soon. Documentation of the performance will be posted shortly. This is the gestation of the hero.
This is the second section of projected video in "Rough Guide to the Grotesque". The transformation of the hero.
This is the third section of projected video in "Rough Guide to the Grotesque". The regurgitation and evolution of the badger.
This is an early preview video for "Rough Guide to the Grotesque". Real shrimp with wax lips used as puppets.
"Theatre of Fools" -in Oakland there is an old opera house/theatre that has been converted into a Longs Drugs. The aim here was to reclaim the space in the name of the performing arts.
"Drawing From Memory" -a clip from a film I made my senior year as an undergraduate at U.C. San Diego in spring of 2001. Shot on color 16mm and edited in Final Cut Pro. Sound design using Pro Tools.
"Skull Composition No. 1" -The first of an ongoing series of sound videos that explore, among other things, the physical relationship to sound and sound making. There is a stereo microphone mounted at the foci of the parabolic head-piece. The idea was to play with the internalization of sound and the acoustics of the "skull".
"Thick Eyelids, Lazy Eyes..." -fall 2000. It was an attempt to separate multiple layers of filmic perception (written text, monologue, music, image, etc.) into various modes of consciousness. Shot on black & white reversal 16mm film, edited on Moviola flat-bed. Sound mixed to tape.
"Skull Composition No. 2" -Headphones are being used as microphones to capture the sound of bells striking my skull. You can hear a bit of the natural bell sound, but mostly you hear their impact.
