George Pfau - Whispering Beast (Rising/Guided)

Whispering Beast (rising/guided)" is a video of a cream colored dog, her shadow, and her unseen guide. I'm very interested in how dogs are so anthropomorphic. To explore how the malleability of the figure's agency and recognizability, I manipulated the speed of the video to emphasize the dog's transitions from four legs to two. One influence for this video was a painting by Francis Bacon, "Paralytic Child Walking on All Fours (from Muybridge)" (1961) in which a small human figure is walking on its hands and feet. Another relevant idea comes from the unseen driving force, or hidden puppet-master present in zombie films.

The videography was done by Kristina Willemse, an Oakland based filmmaker.

Damon Smith  - "Cardboard" for Robert Rauschenberg

I always loved Rauschenberg's cardboard work, his response to minimal art, he used pure cardboard
  on the wall and later did ceramic multpules based on the wall works.
I saw some at the Seattle Art Museum years ago on tour and it always stuck with me.
I used the food and eating sections to break things up and reference Rauschenberg's idea of working
  between art and life.
I am using lloopp software to process field recordings and the film is all from a small digital camera.

Hong Zhang - How Far is it to EXPO 2010

In my performance art, I tried to measure out how far away it is from my home to Expo Site 2010. The start point was at my home, No.342 Northern Chongqing Road, which is in a narrow and shabby lane near downtown of Shanghai. I used manhole covers to measure the distance. The numbers of manhole covers would be used as the marks, I was going to Figure out them through different ways until I obtain the distance at last. Finally, the job done, I reached the Expo Site. What a long distance. At end of the trip, the path I had covered impressively jumped out from the map. Obviously, the Figure of the path is a huge question mark, and the point of the question mark is just located on the site of Expo. I know how far it is from my home to Expo Site 2010, but I don't know how far it is to a better city.

Unleashed Power, Wake for Analog
(Experimental video collaborative artists Eliot K Daughtry & Kriss De Jong)

'Unleashed Power' Uses found & personal material, imagery & text pulled from deposition transcripts to examine the representation of ACT-UP demonstrations through the lens of a single incident...police violence experienced by Kriss during the Chicago ACT-UP AMA Demo in June, 1991. 

'A Wake for Analog' celebrates the passing of analog broadcast into the dustbin of culture. Analog took with it phenomena that now exist as metaphorical relics and digital quotation: vertical roll, sync distortion, snow, visual flatness, frequency interference, phase, light trailing and iris ephemera. Analog is dead, long live Analog!
