First Final (cutpros)

 

These are YouTube links to two videos, my first tries with final cut pro utilizing video recorded on the Curtin cameras during the workshop. I have now lost my YouTube upload virginity.

They are not exceptional, but they evidence my attempts to learn the basics of the software such as importing media, applying some effects and successfully running writing across the video, then sharing the media. The writing is inspired by Anne Ferran's video work In the Ground on the Air  http://anneferran.com/in-the-ground-on-the-air/ as mentioned before in blog.

 

I would like to develop this idea more also inspired by an absolutely brilliant dance performance I saw earlier this year, G, where the backdrop of digital lights spelt out words /letters and was an integral part of the performance. I have in mind a minimalist poem or single words or even letters of life, death, memory, loss over the images I have taken, above. This has digressed my research into poetry, and media :Within the digital realm concrete poetry gains two more levels of expression. While concrete poetry in print combines linguistic and graphic qualities of letters, in digital media time and interaction are two additional ways of expression. Letters can appear, move, disappear, and they can do all this in reaction to the perceiver’s input.   http://www.dichtung-digital.org/2004/3/simanowski/index.htm

I have been looking at works of Patrick Pound, an artist whose photographic work inspired some of my print making which draws on archives, memory and family photographs. He also had a photo exhibition of images of people where life /death was ambiguous, see below, Crime Scene 3 (2011).  I'm struggling to find his video works which are mentioned in some gallery blurbs but I cannot discover them. Wanting some suggestions of search locations please. This video is Pound talking about nomination in the Sellers Art Prize http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f-djVpYdpE

 

 

Exploring the processing.org site I found this work which I thought was useful to research further as it parallels the theme I was developing of memory, transience and traces left behind by people, in this case, the memory of the body captured in the sound sand sculpture. http://wearechopchop.com/%E2%80%9Cunnamed-soundsculpture%E2%80%9D/
