this makes less sense than if you watch it with the diagrams and drawings here:
futureofthebook.org/itinplace/archives/2006/10/memory_diagram.html

but any way, I Passed a ball field on a run and a sort of poem came into my head. retraced my steps the next day with a diagram and video camera to try and remember (write) the words:

YOUTH

Diagrams of Chalk
and Shadows
on Green
Grass
in
Late
Light
Waiting
for the Autumn
Yellow
Bus

    Alex, nice piece.

    I don' know how I'm feeling about the beginning half, but I was really digging it towards the end when you included your narration in addiiton with the text and color bars.

    The busy visuals matched well with the music and the way it made me feel as if I was watching some sort of news program or reality TV thing by putting the words on the bottom of the screen felt good.

    The rhythm of visuals, sound, and voice just really came together for me.
  • Alex Itin plus 2 years ago
    that's good to hear as that's the part I go back and forth on.... its sort of where the camera stops being about the visuals and becomes more a voice recorder, because I am literally trying to weed out the right words to the poem and with miniature forms every word and its placement starts to carry a lot of weight. delighted it worked for you. As for the first half, watch it on the blog in the context of diagram and drawing and it may work better... which reminds me to flickr tag this...thanks.

    None of my videos really make any sense alone...they are always shot to collide with a painting....I can't imagine them as discreet videos.

    Alex,

    I tried watching it again, this time in between the paintings on Itin Place. It definitely makes more sense in that context. I really wish I could see the entire thing in one screen though. Becuase of the size of the screen, it cuts off either the top or bottom of the paintings.

    This is definitely the type of piece I'd like to enjoy with the video projected on the wall while it's sandwitched between the paintings.

    And once again, great paintings.

    Have I asked...what is your profession?
  • Alex Itin plus 2 years ago
    I'm an artist currently exploring the notion of digital space as a sort of open studio/ongoing gallery/new form of visual literature, or something. I just wrote a post about media sharing sites like vimeo and my work... It should be on if book today.

    as for having to see the whole image... I don't know that it's necessary... likea japanese scroll, you have to roll through it.
  • eat a bug 2 years ago
    Maybe that's why you have so many new posts so soon.

    A Japanese scroll eh...interesting idea.
