0.0A poetic, semi-autobiographical short film of the sun setting over a village, shot from behind the curtains of a small, dimly lit room.
10.0Your raging romp results only in rescinded regret @ the hands of radder cadets.
7.0This fantastical movie inspired by the music of Michael Jackson features imaginative interpretations of hit tracks from the iconic 1987 album “Bad”.
8.0Part of a collection of restored early works by Nam June Paik, the haunting Beatles Electronique reveals Paik's engagement with manipulation of pop icons and electronic images. Snippets of footage from A Hard Day's Night are countered with Paik's early electronic processing.
10.0Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.
10.0(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.
10.0Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.
10.0An engaging music video, an explosion about the present and the future. A cry of resistance in the midst of neglect. A reflection of our society in pieces.
10.0Abandoning the Abaddon-loathed abandoner opens plenty of reclaimed... everything(s).
10.0Don't ask me why, but I feel we're about to cry trying.
7.0The final 17 years of American singer and musician Karen Carpenter, performed almost entirely by modified Barbie dolls.
6.5Centrist revelations abound among repetitions & revisitings.
10.0Pounding backbeats beaten by [(Don't Get)] warm[welcomes]th.
10.0Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.
10.0This cacophony runs over me, over everything I see, everything I want to see: it's me.
0.0This film was made out of the capture of a live animation performance presented in Rome in January 2005 by Pierre Hébert and the musician Bob Ostertag. It is based on live action shooting done that same afternoon on the Campo dei Fiori where the philosopher Giordano Bruno was burned by the Inquisition in 1600. A commemorative statue was erected in the 19th century, that somberly dominate the market held everyday on the piazza. The film is about the resurgence of the past in this place where normal daily activities go on imperturbably. The capture of the performance was reworked, shortened and complemented with more studio performances.
0.0data-verse is a data-driven audio-visual trilogy by artist and composer Ryoji Ikeda which marks a two-decade culmination in the artist’s research. The trilogy addresses the layered dimensions of our world, from the microscopic, to the human, to the macroscopic. Through Ikeda’s process, massive scientific data sets have been transcribed, converted, transformed, de/re/meta-constructed and orchestrated to visualise and sonify the different dimensions that co-exist in our world between the visible and the invisible. Each variation immerses visitors in the vast data universe in which we live, capturing hidden facets of nature and the vast scientific knowledge underpinning our existence. This large-scale data-driven trilogy is generated by extremely precise computer programming and features a minimalist electronic soundtrack, harmonised with Hollywood-standard, high-definition, 4K DCI video projections of scientific data onto a large screen.
