HHORRRAUTICA 3


HHORRRAUTICA 3
REFLECTION ONE: (HOLYOKERESEARCH)
-HHORRRAUTICA discarnation,or the release of“doubles”,as described by the selected afterlife characters, projectors, and vehicles of vitality.
-mediumistic participants who’s wheels within wheels doubles were released in multiple stages their space-range is unlimited.
-an explosive re-entry into the horror body in cases of unnatural projections caused healthy critique shock.
-when some of these doubles were screened there was often a panoramic view of the collaborative past life.
-performance consciousness-an experience like fusing with an “immersion suit” , “earth-suit”, or “birth-suit” through post physical conditions.
-a compulsive cycle in the head described by gestural engineers, as the chief point of exit of the doubles.
-many who claimed that their doubles were released from their projects also claimed that the process was aided by discarnate helpers [corresponding to earthly midwives & feline familiars]
-others described “energistic-autopsicopy” [ having seen,and played with the internal organs of their etheric bodies]
-festivals transmit their collaborative cords to us via speculative residency mediums.
-neolojismic textual substances ooze construction yellow.

REFLECTION TWO: (VIROCODE)
In a world which legislates the obscene but legitimizes the atrocious, HHORRRAUTICA represents our sexual evolution. Life and death have often met at the moment of birth though usually in the form of tragedy. HHORRRAUTICA is the embodiment of physical coupling of disaster and desire. This new progeny has been evolving among humanity and inhumanity to one day depart homo sapien. Will this species be born from an orifice of pleasure or pain?

THE BODY



THE BODY-15:00-STEREO-VIDEO-1990 BY JORDAN BIREN

The Body reduces the body to a site of comedic gestures.
Here, performance creates only a tangential sense to the
flatly titled subject. A string of gestures threaded together
in the edit resist straightforward documentation.
The proposition of narrative pushes through but lodges
in the underlying context satirizing its place of origin, the body.JB

SKT 090: 2001




SKT 090: 2001-5:00-STEREO-VIDEO-2003 BY CASPAR STRACKE

SKT 090: 2001, is one of three video works produced
on an obsolete video medium.
(The CED: Capacitance Electronic Disc player)
It was the last technology in the tradition of Edison’s phonograph
to read information from a disc with a stylus.
This technology was in use for less than a decade and quickly
replaced by Pioneer’s Laser Disc Technology.The video was
recorded on an old slightly modified CED payer by RCA.
What makes this particular model a unique performer is its
highly individual and eccentric way of playing back the video.
The machine, 17 Years old, reads scratches on the disc not like
crackles on an audio record but chops a scene into fragments less
than a 1/4 sec long and re-assembles them by chance operation.
Considering its historical context, there is some irony involved in
this "accident" which is performed without human interaction.
This collage machine mimes deconstructive editing techniques
well-known in the video art from the Eighties.
The fragile unpredictable nature of the machine reproducing the
stored analogue information in such an illogical way produces a
machine autonomy that questions the way real-time is adapted
into film-time.CS

Three residency coordinators have reconstructed a
3 1/2 minute workshop conducted at the
Holyoke research arts facility in Western Massachussettes.
The participants engaged in a variety of gestation activities
including "manifestation coupling" & "recepticle visitations." TZB

HF CRITICAL MASS APPLIED TO CINEMATOGRAPHY BY NASA(CRYSTALLINE ROCK)


HF CRITICAL MASS APPLIED TO CINEMATOGRAPHY
BY NASA(CRYSTALLINE ROCK)
3:00-STEREO-VIDEO-2004 BY BARBARA LATTANZI

The series of videos under the collective title "HF Critical Mass applied to Cinematography by NASA" riffs a period in U.S. history marked by technological optimism and ideological strife. Each of the videos in the series samples NASA footage from the 1968-72 U.S. Apollo missions to the moon. Applied to these archival fragments is my original software, consisting of a simple, dynamically-modifiable algorithm. The software itself derives from another archive - that of the American avant-garde film movement from the same historical period. "HF Critical Mass" software abstracts and encodes the structural motif of one of the signature experimental films from that period - a time when avant-garde film practice had reached a point of particular intensity.BL

AN IMPROBABLE WAVEFORM



AN IMPROBABLE WAVEFORM
9:00-STEREO-VIDEO-2007 BY VIROCODE

"An Improbable Waveform" is a work that explores the paradigms
of quantum physics, and the limits of empirical understanding.
A noted and very well respected String theorist inhabits a computer
game to test out possibilities. Educational films and physics
experiments are observed and then unobserved to exhibit
improbable qualities. A small child talks to a bag of water which
is said to be her dead uncle and effortlessly refutes rational solutions.V

CONTROLLED RELEASE (SEOUL EDIT)


CONTROLLED RELEASE (SEOUL EDIT)
3:00-STEREO-2005/2007 BY ANTHONY DISCENZA

An infernal kaleidescope constructed from dozens of 1-second film clips, each representing a moment of cinematic vernacular in which some violent energy or emotion is imminent. These have been electronically stitched together and channeled into a dense vortex simultaneous destruction and reification. Normally presented as a continuous looped projection, this a specially re-configured screening version. AD
