Media Art Net - Resource
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)

Virgil Widrich - Fast Film - Google Video Broadcast 2003. "In 14 minutes, "Fast Film" provides a tour de force through film history, from its silent beginnings to present-day Hollywood. The filmmakers printed out some 65,000 individual images from 300 films, folded them into paper objects, arranged them in complex tableaux, and then brought them to life with an animation camera."

Sergei Eisenstein - Alexander Nevsky (1938)
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."
