BIBI KATHOLM OLESEN:  TRACING THE LIGHT THAT SPRINGS FROM YOUR YELLOW FUR, UK, 2007, Video

BIBI KATHOLM OLESEN:  REMAINS OF THE MONSTER MASH, UK, 2007, Video

STEVE PARTRIDGE: MONITOR 1 UK, 1975, 6 mins, video
'Monitor is another important early work by Partridge which demonstrates his interest in
structuralism.

RAPHAEL MONTANEZ ORTIZ: WHAT IS THIS, USA, 9 mins, video:
These exraodinary Ortiz films reveal the very structure of film making, examining the process of the 'splice' to unveil the inner mechanics of the medium, allowing 'editing' to become a living thing.

RAPHAEL MONTANEZ ORTIZ: BACK BACK BACK, USA, 7 mins, video

WOODY VASULKA: REMINISCENCE, USA, 1974, 5 mins, video
Reminiscence is an otherworldly record of a portapak walk through a farmhouse in Moravia, the site of Woody Vasulka's youth, as seen through the transformantive effects of the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor. Images become eerily sculptural, fading in and out of abstraction, as if in evocation of memory.

ANNE McGUIRE: THE WALTONS, USA, 1996, 7 mins, video
This re-examination of John-boy's near death experience at the sawmill is deft and cunning.
A homespun midnight deconstruction of an entire era of television mannerisms.

SHANE BRADFORD: PROJECTOR PROJECT PART 2: Sinking in the footsteps of giants. Artist Shane Bradford attempts to dub sound onto a Super 8 film of Ian Davenport playing the drums.
