"The Academy Award for Special Effects (photographic and sound) was awarded to this film. Associate producer William Cameron Menzies designed some of the rich special effects for this imaginative Arabian Nights fantasy film produced by Alexander Korda, a loose remake of the original Douglas Fairbanks silent classic of 1924; they included a flying magic carpet, a six-armed mechanical assassin, a toy horse that could fly, poor Bagdad thief Abu's (15 year-old Sabu) battle with a giant spider in its huge web, and the sight of 50 foot tall genie or Djinni (Rex Ingram) in a tiny bottle.

Shimmer - architect Alisa Andrasek and artist Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand - installtion . Project Bifid "For Bifid (2005), Alisa Andrasek collaborated with materials specialist Mary Boone Wellington to produce a field of polycarbonate ribbon structures that emerge from the floor and ceiling. Infinitely variable by way of their algorithmic origin, the weaving patterns of this fabric reverberate throughout the gallery, oscillating in density and complexity.
". ,,, Project "Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand's sculpture Waken (2005) builds across a network of signals in an installation of tendon-like bio-dynamic materials and audio speakers. Using a generative code that emulates the movement of bees in nature, the artists create a "sonic prairie" characterized by diversity, accident, and spontaneous growth.

"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. "

Gunvar Nelson - Film/ Video Artist - US - Sweeden
Gunvor Nelson - Film Video Artist
"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."

Abelardo Morell - Camera Osbscura - 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)

Lumiére Brothers - The Arrival of a train at la Ciotat Station - 1895
The Arrival of a train at la Ciotat Station - 1895
L'Arrivée d'un train en la Gare de la Ciotat
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."
