Time Fragments. 2010, 3 minutes

Paul Glennon
www.paulglennon.co.uk

Moments come and go in a flash and some are more important than others. When I try to remember a moment in time my mind displays a fragment – not unlike a screen shot that most computers are capable of recording. This fragment then allows me access to emotions and thoughts from the time that my mind recorded them. This film is like a digital canvas version of that process. Like memories the fragments are blurry (or pixilated).

Ad-Vice for a Prophet, 2005, 7 minutes

Jon Rafman
www.jonrafman.com

An anonymous narrator, alone in his apartment, cannot tell if his inner life is composed of memories of dreams or memories of reality. Using a mixture of super-8 Kodachrome and nostalgic 1980's advertisements, the film captures the way pop culture ephemera are repetitively imposed on us until we feel they are our creation.

City Girls, 2007, 9 minutes 44 seconds

Jon Rafman

An anonymous narrator is tortured by a vague feeling that he has encountered the different girls he passes on the street earlier in his life. City Girls was inspired by the synopsis on the back of an old Last Year in Marienbad VHS box found in a Salvation Army.

www.jonrafman.com

An international businessman, for whom the elevated trains of Berlin and Chicago have become interchangeable, encounters and re-encounters an old raconteur, the unofficial chronicler of urban legends. We learn of Ukrainian dogfights, truces between the Crips and the Bloods and factory life in fin-de-siècle New York.

For To End Yet Again. 2003, 5 minutes

Michele Beck and Jorge Calvo
michelebeck.net

For To End Yet Again is a non-narrative, philosophical investigation, which uses technology to alter and shape reality.

The video works with the body as an object that creates and carries time through motion. Through the process of video editing, the speed and rhythm of time are restructured and sound is manipulated to become an aggressive element, which disturbs and breaks continuity.

Relative Space, Father/Son. 2009, 10:10 minutes

Chris Stockbridge
www.chrisstockbridge.co.uk

The film animation looks at a family relationship shown in an expanded moment of time. The performance is directed by the artist, played out under her gaze as wife and mother. The claustrophobia and frustration of family life is reflected in the endless, slow repetition. As a film, which began as still images it inhabits the border between the photographic and the cinematic, time is at its heart. These shifts in time, the empty space between the figures and the dissolving surface create the possibility of other realities, through which the work hopes to disrupt the familiar and familial.

Meditation Room, 2007, 4:30 minutes

Alice Apley and Carolyn Wirth

Artist Carolyn Wirth and documentary filmmaker Alice Apley collaborated on the video, “Meditation Room,” an animation using dollhouse furniture. The protagonist of the film--a ticking clock--marks the passage of time as the tiny room is carefully arranged, and then dissolves. The set of “Meditation Room” (below) originated as the living room in Wirth's installation, “Interior Design” at Boston's Kingston Gallery. The tiny rooms in the installation used the accoutrements of American life symbolically while simultaneously existing in the hobbyist's world of miniatures and toys. The film, a meditation on time and decay, represents to the artist “a vision of the relentless alterations time places upon the material world, even as it exists in memory.”

Window. 2008, 1 minute

Jeremy Newman

In this video, a glass window melds real time and cinematic time.  Rather than achieving meaning through the juxtaposition of shots, the window surface is a reflective membrane that separates/joins a domestic interior and the forces of nature.  With lightning flash illumination, the female figure is variously primal silhouette and mythical goddess.

Vergangenheitsbewaltigung. 2009, 5 minutes

Vergangenheit - past
Bewältigung - mastering process of coming to terms with the past

Photographical journey through Proctor Theatre in Newark,NJ accompanied with music by a German duo Beefcake.

Visual study of architectural and historical aspects of an abandoned theatre.

Time is a powerful instrument of nature: it has slowly peeled man-painted murals; penetrated velvet curtains with mold and made this theatre into a grand home for homeless creatures. Time speaks of former glories that now are just echos.

After more than thirty years, Proctor Theatre of Newark has came to terms with its disintegration. It has mastered the slow and beautiful process of entropy. Forgotten, yet majestically standing within main streets' shops, vendors and traffic; same streets that brought this theatre to its end during Newark riots of the sixties. Standing in the middle of urbanized environment, patiently waiting for either final passing or restoration.

Cicada. 2008, 8.5 minutes

Anna Mosby Coleman
www.annamosbycoleman.com

CICADA, a time-based concrete poem, uses film and video signal and the remnants of a gorgeous yet repulsive insect to express the agita of love in flux. Using a cicadic array of several abandoned exoskeletons - relics of the insects' 17 year process of laying dormant and regaining life - CICADA proceeds with a combination with singing, whispering, and speaking.  The filmmaker accompanies the bugs' waking song with her own voice.  Using a Super8 film camera, dead cicadas are re-animated using the remnants of their metamorphoses. The video sequences from the insect's POV were recorded using a Sony Cybershot Camera.

In the video an Indian mantra is singed in a circle and we are getting behind, where the past is left and the future is unknown. It might be even annoying, but we could go forward, observing an old garden on an arriving rainy morning.

The river is flowing
flowing and drawing
back to the sea
the mother has carried me
your child I will always be
back to the sea...

UNDE (Romanian) = Where / Rays of light.
People move in the same direction: towards the end of their life. They do this in time, which is measured in one way but varies from person to person, being experienced individually. Rays of light change according to the medium they travel through. Similarly, time expands and contracts depending on each human's state of mind.

The Way of Progress. 2010, 5:15 minutes

Danielle Adair
www.danielleadair.com

The Way of Progress uses a loose transcription of an experience in artist Tino Seghal's work This is Progress (at the Guggenheim Museum, New York City, closing day March 2010). Sehgal stipulates that his artworks or "situations" are not to be documented in any way. Through repeated re-stagings and the contributing voices of other practicing artists, the video The Way of Progress questions how we respond to “documented” time and the act of organizing time. Performing Artists: Danielle Adair, Cristina Arias, Carlos Contente, Iker Lekuona, Nick Mathis, Alejandro Almanza Pereda.

ALL YOU CAN'T EAT and other Tales of Waiting.  2009, 5 minutes

Caterina Verde
www.caterinaverde.com

A man pursues a circular route.  He sits on a bench; he waits. "You done made a little mistake you couldn't afford to make...and it's over.  You don't get any second chances".  Time doesn't allow for a redo—you are done.  It's a cultural commitment. Movement through time yields a product—speed as a means of achieving the goal. Commentators' react to circular spectator activities that become a litany of missed opportunities. The driver races but he himself is not moving.  Stasis persists.   The waiting man looks back on himself; he speaks to an unseen person about a person from the past that has no seeming origin.  He is never answered.

Adam Cruces
www.adamcruces.com

This project operates as a portrait of a friend while smoking one cigarette. My interest in using this process is that I was able to portray future as present and let my hand enter the work in a more decisive way, through post-production. My intent in this video is to create a new experience of such a mundane act as smoking, and letting that transformation influence the appearance of the subject.

A Stitch in Time. 2009, 9 mins 40 seconds.

Diane Shaw

For many years I have collected tiny shards of broken pottery discarded then buried and consequently pushed to the surface by armies of earthworms.

These pieces represent a form of domestic archaeology, fragments and memories of generations of families and settlements lost in time. Running lines of silk stitching on canvas form an imagined extension of the lost part of the design and pattern creating an imaginary journey from another age to the here and now.

Beads (order, disorder and symmetry), 2009, 4 minutes and 42 seconds

Giulia Ricci
www.giuliaricci.blogspot.com

The video/performance is an exploration of order and disorder together with the issue of symmetry through time; order and disorder are explored through the manipulation of beads and symmetry is explored through the performance carried out with my hands as well as through the editing of the video. This piece is connected to my drawing practice, in which time, process and tactility are the key elements.

If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home By Now. 2007, 4.5 minutes

Ligorano/Reese
www.ligoranoreese.net

Using graphics and language appropriated from real estate internet ads, Ligorano/Reese advertise apartment complexes and condos on the moon. Virtual reality takes on a new meaning when compositing architectural renderings of luxury apartments on the moon. This vicarious escape from the astronomical prices of New York, quickly underscores a reality where the benefits of the real estate boom are a fantasy for many. Is the moon the next outer borough? Will the middle class have to colonize it in pursuit of affordable housing? Only time will tell.

Here Wait (excerpt), 2010, 3:38 minutes

group A – Alyssa Lee and Nora Raggio
www.groupAdance.com

Taking its inspiration from a traffic sign stenciled on the pavement of a busy intersection, HERE WAIT presents the implications of different states of waiting. HERE WAIT grapples with the tension of present, constrained/specific space implied by HERE, and delayed/expanded time implied by WAIT. This dilemma is investigated through such questions as: Where does one find stillness in the decay of movement? How does one wait while remaining grounded in the present? How do we reconcile the dichotomy of pausing in time? HERE WAIT (excerpt) is a collaboration between choreographer Alyssa Lee, composer Maggi Payne, and video artist Nora Raggio.

Interior. Day. 2009, 5 minutes

Elina Medley
vimeo.com/9267889

Interior. Day studies a particular space and is the result of an obsessive recording of light, sound and surface. As the title suggests, the piece is set inside and explores ambivalent feelings towards domesticity and the home. Partly about routine and the banality of day to day life, we hear the sounds of human activity: hoovering, typing, opening a blind, running water. This reference to daily actions and its endless loop, means that the work explores themes relating repetition and the continuous cycle of domestic work.

Homage to Magritte, 1975, 10 minutes

Anita  Thacher
www.anitathacher.com

10 minutes. Homage to Magritte opens with a quote from Magritte “...reality is difficult to attain.”
As a series of paintings might relate, the film links a series of images in the spirit of Magritte's work. Time is expressed as a psychological/intellectual experience -- stretching and compressing pieces of time from disparate moments or locations. Time may be experienced as united by a psychological glue or dispersed and disconnected by the invasion of memory. The film premiered in 1975 at “New Directors/New Films," Museum of Modern Art, New York.

TRAiNSposition. 2009, 3.3 minutes

Nance Davies
www.nancedavies.net

TRAiNSposition, layers the multiple perceptions of time during a typical subway ride: the ‘stilling' of time inside the train car, the accelerated speed of the train hurtling through dark tunnels, and the time of ‘human consciousness' as it shifts from hyper-alertness to daydreaming reverie.  The rider is, at once, both transported and transporting.  This is a fluid place for imagination - a collective nervous system as rider and train are fused into a nested, neural pathway – firing sensory signals and intermittent synaptic spasms.  The sound track is a transposition of train sounds and human breath.

SIN. 2010, 2.20 minutes

Peter Gregorio
www.petergregorio.com

At a meeting of intelligence, there is a possibility that the human biology will merge with machine. Mathematician and computer scientist, Vernor Vinge, suggests that this is possible within the next thirty years; we will indeed have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Vinge hypothesizes further, “Shortly thereafter, the human era will be ended.” This idea is the starting point for the video “SIN” (the Singularity Is Near). Using Ray Kurzweil's book title by the same name, as a warning inscription, the video points to a futurist's utopian/dystopian scenario.
