Black Rain



Film Black Rain by Semiconductor, artist duo Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt.

Black Rain is sourced from images collected by the twin satellite, solar mission, STEREO. Here we see the HI (Heliospheric Imager) visual data as it tracks interplanetary space for solar wind and CME's (coronal mass ejections) heading towards Earth. Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected all the HI image data to date, revealing the journey of the satellites from their initial orientation, to their current tracing of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Solar wind, CME's, passing planets and comets orbiting the sun can be seen as background stars and the milky way pass by.

Psychedelic


Ken Brown's psychedelic Light Show Films (1967-69) at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

"Breathing new life into the films the soundtrack was an unrestrained jam thrown together with psychedelic undertones to suit Brown’s vision. True to their time, the films possess an unruly energy with hallucinatory superimpositions, pulsing lights, animations, and comic vignettes. With its abundance of graphic referencing, Ken Brown's films are true pop culture artifacts and a testament to a time of cultural, political and artistic revolutions."

Secret Life


Two channel video projection from 16mm film, titled Secret Life by Reynold Reynolds.

"Secret Life is the first from a three-part cycle exploring the imperceptible conditions that frame life. It portrays a woman trapped in an apartment with a life of its own, but transcending the narrative horizons of human desire, the film visits upon us a glimpse of a shared and sacred reality. Secret Life is a two-screen installation that defies the ultimate metaphysical taboos of temporality by combining novel technique with intrepid philosophical vision; and daring to present that which is seldom, if ever, portrayed in any artistic medium, impossibilities are made possible through Reynolds’ signature aesthetic, a lens that can fill one with reverence for the mundane. Have you ever wondered what time sees, experiences? Without mortal assumptions about time, the occupant of the apartment is no longer limited even to unique location, but here, seen through the eye of time, space itself is now become alive, active, animated, animas. Without the context of space and time, the woman's mind collapses and neglects the organization of her experience, leaving her only with sensations. The viewer may ask: Is it her mind or is it time itself that creates the uncontrolled and uncontrollable environment?" from Reynolds' website
