I know this blog is becoming little more than a YouTube feed, but I just have to share this old favourite which recently appeared there:
Ah, the beauty and brilliance of Severed Heads. This work means more to me than I can explain. It’s in my blood.
Tom Ellard’s description:
(By request) This 1985 video was created in real time as a video ‘jam’ or improvisation. It features a preacher scratched by Ian Andrews on betacam tape, fed through Fairlight CVI and analogue video synthesiser.
The CVI signal is notable for not filling the whole screen (it had a resolution of 256 squared) and introducing a delay that causes the signal to shift to the right.
I’m supposed to be at an Ian Andrewsexhibition opening right now, but I crashed my bike today, so am staying home to lick my wounds and hopefully catch up with some overdue writing.
On Saturday July 28, we’re having a Cult Movie Night at Petersham Bowling Club to help raise money to keep Don’t Look Gallery going. For $20/$10 you get four hours of challenging and quirky full length films, shorts and obscure (perhaps even bizarre) public service announcements. Some highlights will include the controversial 1932 pic ‘Freaks’, and the post-WWII US propaganda short, ‘Make Mine Freedom’.
We’ve had a few big expenses lately (including a broken window) and digital projectors don’t grow on trees! So please show your support so we can keep up a bit of Kulcha in the outer-inner-west.
If you know you can make it please RSVP so we can have some idea of numbers. Thanks for your support!
The program has been locked off and we can’t wait for the festival to begin! Please tell your friends about it. Hope to see you there!

AUDIOVISUAL ARTIST FEATURE
_______________________________________________________
:: :: :: :: Cellule d’Intervention Metamkine :: :: :: ::
Performing at Liquid Architecture 8 in all 3 cities.
Through the magic of mirrors, multiple projectors and highly ingenious
live on stage editing, this French audiovisual performance group
produce and direct a new film with each of their performances. Working
around a core narrative, they spill eddies of impromptu vignettes,
accompanied by a live soundtrack of tape fragments and ancient
synthesiser sounds. These three collaborators, Jérôme Noetinger,
Christophe Auger and Xavier Quérel, have worked together for ten
years, and have succeeded in pushing the boundaries of film and
soundtrack into the realm of live performance.
