The footage was shot with my (favorite) Flip Camera and underwater housing in Captiva, Florida. My kids and I tied some fishing line to the housing then threw it way out into the surf. The footage was recorded as my camera washed ashore. Not only the images, but also the sound of the water smacking into the plastic housing and dripping over the case were interesting to me. I also recorded my son’s friend Michaela as she narrated what happened in some of her dreams. This audio was also cut up into sentence fragments (45 of them) that are combined randomly to (sometimes) make sense. I used the Kyma sound computer to create the structure for the piece. A script loads audio clips from a folder and plays them in random order. While the video played, I can control the volume, amount of reverb, and spatial position of the sound in the room, all in real time. The audio of spoken words and the water sounds (plus me and my kids screaming as we got pummeled by waves!) is different every time it is played thanks to the “random” script. Here is one version (in two channels, not four) that gives an idea of what it looks and sounds like.

Davis works a “day job” as a professional medical guinea pig. He enrolls as a human subject to test medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and therapies. During the preparation for his role as Galileo, Davis tests a wearable camera designed to help Alzheimer’s patients remember the events and interactions of their daily lives. To gauge the device’s efficacy, Davis has been administered a drug that induces a temporary memory loss. As he travels through different physical environments, Davis reflects on the sacrifices and compromises he has made to pursue his art, and unwittingly creates a contemporary analog to the experiences of the Sixteenth-century astronomer.

In this alternate reality life is refracted through “slow glass,” a material that dramatically slows the passage of light by months or even years. With economic and ecological collapse on the horizon, the use of slow glass has become a source of conflict between those who hope to preserve memories and visions of the past and their opponents who want to face societal problems directly. This music and film piece envisions the clash as it colors the daily life of a young couple who seek beauty while struggling with basic survival.

Once home to the dodo, Mauritius was teeming with giant tortoises until the arrival of man. The introduction of predators and habitat loss doomed these majestic creatures to extinction. Now biologists have embarked on a radical plan: to replace the extinct Mauritian tortoise with a close relative: the giant tortoise from Aldabra, a deserted atoll near the Seychelles. How will the island's eco-system respond? And how do the results of this experiment change how we thing about biodiversity?   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55fcb353e4b0f97d3955b147/1442708510067-PCEZA6MZRH5Q42P2EOJH/image-asset.jpeg Invasion of the Giant Tortoises - Invasion of the Giant Tortoises “Invasion of the Giant Tortoises” explores the controversial introduction of a non-native species to the African island of Mauritius.

On the advice of a psychic, our heroine searches from Florida to the Rocky Mountains, and along the way, learns that sometimes a certain green is found where you least expect it. Notes on the film I was reading a few anthologies of micro-fiction and non-fiction when I came across “Rhapsody in Green” by Marjorie Sandor. I loved this story because it was all about color, and how our lives are a search for something perfect that may not exist. I started bringing my Super16 camera to Captiva, Florida during spring break. I started shooting everything I could find that looked like it should be green, but was not. Shadows of leaves on the ground, plants at sunrise and sunset that have turned inky black. One Spring we were on Captiva just after a hurricane had trashed the island. The shot of the garbage truck driving past the small restaurant (actually a little store) was shot that Spring. (The store was closed in order to repair all the hurricane damage). The shots of Johanna in front of the bulletin board are actually composites — I shot the store in Florida and Johanna in a studio at Montana State University in front of a blue screen.

This event is a metaphor for how we come to understand events which happen to people far away in time or place. Using contemporary and archival materials, the film suggests that it is through relating historical events to our daily lives that we can begin to comprehend them. The Displacement Map uses music and visual clues rather than words to tell an almost universal story of war, displacement, and relocation.

One day he received a letter from a lawfirm representing the mall’s owner, claiming that he was violating their client’s trademark. When they filed a lawsuit against him, Hank registered a series of internet domain names ending with “sucks.com.” He used these sites to document the case, and the treatment he was receiving. Hank fought the lawsuits all the way to the Appeals Court. After several setbacks, he was ultimately victorious. His case is now the precedent establishing rights for people who use the web to protest, complain, or gripe. This richly visual documentary tells Hank’s “David vs. Goliath” story using an entertaining and humorous style. This is a story where the little guy finally does come out on top!
