Mediaartnet - Resource
"Introducing the range of topics related to media and art, «Media Art Net» thus aims at establishing an Internet structure that offers highly qualified content by granting free access at the same time. Tendencies of art and media technology development throughout the twentieth century serve as the background for promoting historic and contemporary perspectives on artistic work in and with the media. A combination of diverse representational modes will offer a condensed, attractively presented multimedia focus for the interested 'surfer,' as well as profusely documented in depth information for users specifically involved in research. The main objective is, therefore, to establish theoretically and audio-visually convincing forms of relationships and references that cross the boundaries of genre. A consistently bilingual version (German/English) further transmits the international character of this undertaking."

Peter Greenway/David Lang - Writing on Water - 2005
Peter Greenway/David Lang - Writing on Water
Peter Greenway - film; David Lang - Composer - "Writing on water". "The Artwise Solution: Artwise commissioned filmmaker Peter Greenaway, composer David Lang and the London Sinfonietta orchestra to collaborate on a highly ambitious, multidisciplinary event inspired by the maritime theme. Greenaway arranged a libretto based on Moby Dick, The Tempest and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which was then orchestrated by Lang and performed by the world-class London Sinfonietta. Writing on Water also included live calligraphy by Brody Neuenschwander, who worked on Greenaway's The Pillow Book, and live VJ'ing of some 400 film images by the director himself. Writing on Water was first performed in Richard Roger's spectacular Lloyd's building, where the vast screens were suspended directly over the markets, and to great acclaim as a public event at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank (2005). Artwise project-managed over 100 collaborators for this commission." http://www.artwisecurators.com/p6t.htm

Abelardo Morell - Camera Obscura - Photographer (US)
Abelardo Morell - Photographer (US) - Abelardo Morell makes magical camera obscura images in darkened interiors. The simple process -- he blacks out all the windows, leaving just a pinhole opening in one of them -- produces photographs of complex beauty. The world outside is projected upside down into the room which he then photographs using long exposures. (Abelardo Morell, Bulfinch Press)

Excerpt from Alexander Nevsky at google video. Music composed by Sergei Prokofiev. Eisenstein and Prokoviev worked very close on creating sound image relations in this work.
"Alexander Nevsky is a film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Dmitry Vasiliev, produced by Mosfilm and released in 1938 with Nikolai Cherkasov in the title role...
The film was the first of Eisenstein's to use sound. The film's score was composed by Sergei Prokofiev, who later reworked the score into a concert cantata."

Full film to view at google video.
"Deliberately written as a revolutionary propaganda film, Eisenstein used this film to test his theories of "montage". The revolutionary Soviet filmmakers of the Kuleshov school of filmmaking were experimenting with the effect of films on the audience, and Eisenstein edited the film in a way that would produce the greatest emotional response, so that the viewer would feel sympathy for the rebellious sailors of the battleship Potemkin and hatred for their cruel overlords. In the manner of most propaganda, the story was written in a very simplistic fashion, so that the audience could clearly see whom they could sympathize with."

"The original images come from historic Islamic arabesques. They were carved in plaster and wood, painted, and mounted in actual buildings in Andalusia and Morocco. These ancient artworks were photographed, printed in a book, scanned into a computer, adjusted with Photoshop, and animated with After Effects. Each step in the journey has left its tell-tale mark, from the lighting of the original photograph to the mask of the printer to the blocky pixels of the digital zoom. "

"Gunvor Nelson Retrospective: Personal Lens -October 20–23, 2006 [MoMA - New York]
This exhibition of work by film and video pioneer Gunvor Nelson spans four decades and offers a rare opportunity to experience the accumulated impact of Nelson's artistic vision. Her poetically expansive life's work-created in both San Francisco, her home and workplace for over thirty years, and her native Sweden, where she has resettled-has consistently, often courageously, privileged her subjective gaze and individual experience. Nelson relentlessly refuses predictability (and succeeds) in her search for a true relation between project and form. Among the most experimental of artists, Nelson illuminates such elusive and intimate subjects as childhood, aging, displacement, memory, women's roles, death, and the symbolic forces of nature and water via a potent exploration of the possibilities of sound and moving image. Her ephemeral, dreamlike images are simultaneously tactile and almost tangible, while her imaginative use of language and traces of music add considerably to the emotional impact of her works. Filmic collage and dynamic editing create tension and contrast. The unique characteristics of Nelson's works form less a definable style than a sustained aesthetic.
Organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film."

Google video broadcast
"Filmed in 1895, it was first shown to a paying audience in Paris, France on January 6, 1896. The 50-second silent film captures the entry of a steam locomotive into the train station in the French coastal town of la Ciotat. Like most of the other early Lumière films, L'Arrivée d'un train consists of a single, unedited "view" illustrating an aspect of everyday life...
The story goes that when the film was first shown, the audience was so overwhelmed by the moving image of a life-sized train coming directly at them that people screamed and ran to the back of the room."
