Healthy Homes - Te Timatanga Earthship New Zealand - Documentary(en)

Nestled into a hillside in Waikato, New Zealand, this Earthship home is an incredibly gorgeous, off grid eco-retreat. It sits in a lush valley amidst a forest of trees, far from any city lights, with beaches a short drive away. The owners, Gus and Sarah, built this home out of as many recycled and found materials as possible, including tires, seashells, and glass bottles. Knowing it would take a great deal of labor to complete a project of this scale, they turned their build into an Earthship-building workshop. They invited interested parties from around the country to come and stay with them and construct the home as a group learning experience. This is the documentary of the building of the first Coromandel Earthship.

Zdenek Pešánek created the first public kinetic sculpture, for the power station in Prague. This short experimental film focuses on a kinetic sculpture by Zdenek Pešánek. For a period of eight years it issued beams of light from the outside wall of a transformer station at Prague’s power utility before its destruction in 1939. Though genuine, these shots seem abstract to us. They are a rhythmically assembled ode to the light-creating devices and phenomena of electricity. Light arcs, coils, bulbs and various luminous elements support the alternation of positive and negative film images, creating an impressive universe of light and shade. In the 1920s, Pešánek had obtained financial support for his work with electric kinetic light art. In the 1930s, he was the first sculptor to use neon lights. He built several kinetic light pianos, and published a book titled “Kinetismus” in 1941. —http://www.centerforvisualmusic.org
