"I like the ones on the Internet better."
"That's not the point--the shots on the bottom are just documentation of pieces that can never be experienced on the web, just as net art always flops in the gallery setting."
But seriously, I'm pretty happy with the DVDs I just burned (these flared-out shots notwithstanding), inspired by Paul Slocum's work for the Dallas show. Picked up that Toshiba TV on clearance for 74 bucks. The LED Grid is an HTML piece--a found GIF remixed to blink at different rates. I used a capture program to convert it to a video file, then burned the file to DVD, which is then set for chapter repeat in the player. For the OptiDisc piece, the same capture program played the original GIF 12 times to make the video, also set on chapter repeat. I like Paul's idea of burning several animations to one DVD and then having several TVs going at once. Now I know how to do it and don't have to bug my friends so much.
have you considered doing music to accompany the visuals (for the audio portion of the DVD) ?
yeah that would be cool
I'm used to seeing them with the sound from "Guitar Solo" in the background. That works for me. But I can't picture them with their own sound. Too few artists doing video these days are able to resist the temptation of dragging something into that shiny, candy-like sound bar.
Yeah, I like these minimal ones quiet.
I have done four videos with sound, in each instance either: (i) using a visual to call more attention to a sound file I thought was great (same mercenary logic as MTV) or (ii) I actually had an idea that was "audio-visual"--that is, I anticipated some synergy between the 2 elements. I have yet to do a visual where I thought--this needs a soundtrack. Don't know what any of that means.
