Guy Parker: ANALOGUE TRACES | Berlin on Sep 08 | The sun descends over Berlin's Planterwald, May 2018. If it wern't for haze, the Fernsehturm would be visable between the rectanglar structure, part of the Treptowers complex and the electricity pylon. An 1970s artwork revisited using equipment roughly of that time and a little later; Hitachi CCTV FP71 camera, Sanyo VTC5000 Betamax VCR, programmable mains timer switch. Video accelerated x64 with Winows Movie Maker and Blender.
Falling Star
Analogue traces
Sometime around 1970 I became obsessed with the idea that video has been invented to satisfy an ancient longing: to allow the human eye to gaze directly at the sun without damage to the retina.
---Mary Lucier, Light and Death¹In 1975 American artist, Mary Lucier pointed a video camera at the rising sun. In a piece titled Dawn Burn, a video camera captured dawn over the New York skyline; the sun's intensity leaving indelible traces on the fragile surface of the video tube as it crossed the frame.
For Lucier these marks were scars, 'trauma so deep it cannot be erased but, instead, accumulate on the image surface as a form of memory'>
This process and Lucier's suggestion that her camera was able to absorb and retain what it had viewed, albeit as a form of wounding questions the fate of another video camera, a CCTV camera proposed by Bill Viola in Video Black – The Mortality of the Image², whose service of twenty years silently surveilling the same scene without ever being coupled to a recorder, comes to an end. Viola's camera is left with nothing to show for it's experience>
'Without a memory to give it a life, events flicker across its image surface with only a split second to linger as after images, disappearing forever without a trace. '>
In The Autobiography of Video Ina Blom asserts 'changes can only be perceived if you are able to remember and compare. And memory, Viola tells us, is precisely what this camera does not have. You cannot expect it to tell history or to transfer accumulated knowledge. Its time is the present only, and the events that make up this present hardly seem to register at all, leaving only the briefest of traces.' ³>
The 'after images' that Viola refers to, the 'traces' described by Blom are the video tube sensor's lag, a sort of electronic persistence of vision that would cause bright objects to appear to momentarily remain visible once removed from view or to stream ghosts as they move a screen. Described here as analogous to ultra short term memory; conspicuous enough to be visible yet too fleeting to have any mnemonic purpose, the phenomena is related to one of the factors that made the video tube's responding counterpart, the Cathode Ray Tube that employed much the same technology but for display rather than capture, suitable to be adapted for use in the first electronic Random-access Memory system.4
Video's potential for immediate feedback, that proved alluring to early counterparts of Viola and Lucier, allowed for an entire computer program to be displayed on screen in a series of dots and dashes to then be read by a sensor that would then write the displayed quantity back onto the screen. Manually, the operator could access any part of the 32 bit memory code, intervening in the loop to adjust the data. The video tube's ability to produce live feedback could potentially be adapted into memory systems. What it lacks is storage. Momentary delay or lag displayed on screen was no use for storage, the formation of a body or archive; a recording.
Although a means of electronically writing, saving or storing the imagery captured by the video tube had been imagined as far back as the 1920s the electronic moving image existed without dedicated storage until the late 50s. Until then it relied on a film camera to reshoot it's images. Unlike video, the motion film recording substrate was developed simultaneously to the development of the apparatus. Unlike video, every film second is provided for by multiple sensors, 'footage' that judders past the gate to become film frames. A scratched or over exposed film frame is, gone within the blink of an eye. Not so for the video camera that only ever has one sensor, one eye.
And yet, Lucier proves the video camera uncoupled to a recording medium, the eye without a brain, can in fact have recourse to a variant of storage; a write once system where memory is etched with a blinding light process gradually causing irreversible damage. Burn. The term used for this effect would later be used to describe optically writing data for storage to Compact Disc and DVD.
As with Keraunography, the mythical process where lines and images are drawn onto a variety of media including human skin by energy and light descending from the sky or Optography, the phenomena of the retina retaining its last seen image beyond death; video burn provides primitive, use once image storage that simultaneously inflicts injury or destruction of the device that has gathered it.
Combining Lucier and Violas cameras for experiment: a static Vidicon camera pointing towards the setting sun. Over a period of days and weeks, as the earth moves about the sun, the fireball's glare will streak across the image in gradual increments, creating diagonal tracks across the screen that resembles those made by video heads onto tape during the helical scan recording process. Unlike the magnetized tracks set into the rewritable palimpsest of video tape those drawn upon sensitive photoconductive layer of the >
Over the passage a year, a writing over of the entire target sensor could occur. Over the twenty years proposed by Viola, it would be entirely burnt and blinded, yet as it was retired, it would take with it some material evidence of its service, some indexical proof of what it had seen. Video, the medium born without memory would blind itself to create one. Video Black – Viola's camera has remembered something after all.

Anthology Film Archives: A MEANINGFUL TIME TO SUPPORT | New York on Jun 28 | Dear friends of Anthology, It has been a momentous year here at Anthology. With all this organization has achieved – the many films screened, the many works restored and preserved – we also suffered the loss of our dear friend and mentor, AFA’s founder Jonas Mekas.
Jonas Mekas, As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally
I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, 2000, 16mm.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30th, we hope you’ll spare a moment to reflect on what Anthology is and share in Jonas’s vision for this organization, for cinema, and for life.
This deadline, as we close the book on this fiscal year, is a meaningful moment for our staff to consider all that Jonas had achieved and all he anticipated for this institution. Your tax-deductible gift this weekend allows us to continue to spotlight the unseen, highlight the historically significant, and reveal remarkable feats of the cinematic form, and allows you to help contribute to this vision.
Whether you’ve attended film programs, joined as a member, or kept tabs on us from elsewhere, we thank you for your continued support of all that we do here at Anthology Film Archives!
Best wishes for a peaceful & rewarding summer,
John Mhiripiri and the entire staff at Anthology

Anthology Film Archives: PRISON IMAGES | New York on Jun 26 | INCARCERATION AND THE CINEMA - Art by Inmates on July 8 til 25 --- Mainstream movies inform much of what we understand about prisons, and while most commercially-driven films provide us with an ideology meant to naturalize the prison system, there are others that persist in challenging received notions about the usefulness and effectiveness of punishment. Spanning from the 1950s to today, this series brings together a broad selection of films, with each reflecting different aesthetic and critical relationships to the prison institution: from provocative, activist documentaries to inmate-made films, from commercial exploitation cinema to classic escape dramas, and more.
From July 18-26 we'll present a follow-up series focusing more specifically on films made by or with inmates, as well as documentaries that explore similar programs intended to foster the creation of theater, music, art, and literature by inmates. Curated in collaboration with Evelyn Emile

Jens Galschiøt: PROGRESSIVE HIGHWAY SIGN | Odense/DK on May 6 | In Denmark, the most progressive highway sign (3x3 m) was set up in April at the E20 exit by Odense. It is the Danish artist Jens Galschiøt who has designed the sign, which also points towards his gallery.
On the sign, everyone is exposed to the artistic razor: China's aempt to erase the massacre of their own students in 1989, the Catholic Church's absurd contracepon ban, the US's denial of climate change, the extreme double standards and arrogance of the Western world, the retreat of the Europeans from humanism, men and women’s roles in a queer time, and the powerlessness of the climate negotiations.
The artist says: "I am happy to live in a country where one can see the value in art about social criticism, as well as have it on an official Danish highway, and on the hometown of Danish poet Hans Christians Andersen also, who even used his adventures to put focus on the absurdity of society. Art must be used to create new insights into the world, and that is the kind of art that is on the sign”.
The signage cost about 50.000 euros. Galschiøt has got them with the help of art crowdfunding, for which he made a series of unique sculptures that were sold specifically to finance the signage. Within 14 days the sculptures were sold and the signage paid. ►more

Aiapi Staff: CALL FOR ARTISTS - HUMAN RIGHTS #Clima | Rovereto/Italy on Apr 17 | UNRIC Agenda 2030 says about the climate change: “Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, weather events are becoming more extreme and greenhouse gas emissions are now at their highest levels in history. Without action, the world’s average surface temperature is likely to surpass 3 degrees centigrade this century. The poorest and most vulnerable people are being affected the most.
Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy and a range of other measures that will reduce emissions and increase adaptation efforts. Climate change, however, is a global challenge that does not respect national borders. It is an issue that requires solutions that need to be coordinated at the international level to help developing countries move toward a low-carbon economy.
To strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement at the COP21 in Paris, which went into force in November of 2016. In the agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees centigrade. As of April 2018, 175 parties had ratified the Paris Agreement and 10 developing countries had submitted their first iteration of their national adaptation plans for responding to climate change.”International Exhibition of Contemporary Art | 7 September | 31 December 2019

Anthology Film Archives: IN DIALOGUE - WERNER HERZOG | New York on Apr 17 | Documentary | April 18-28 | Werner Herzog’s prominence within the realm of nonfiction cinema has grown in recent years, both due to the films themselves and to his promotion of the idea of an “ecstatic truth” that hinges on the director’s manipulation of reality. At the same time Herzog has gained attention by critiquing other, more passive approaches, such as Direct Cinema. Nevertheless, it is not easy to say what defines a Herzog documentary, aside from the presence of his almost legendary voice and his interest in outsiders who are often confronted with extraordinary circumstances. Guest curated by Alejandro Bachmann and Michelle Koch – the editors of a recent German-language book on Herzog’s documentaries – this film program attempts to illuminate this unique body of work by pairing particular Herzog films with works by other filmmakers that focus on similar topics, deal with comparable material, or employ related approaches. This series is co-presented by the Goethe-Institut New York. ►read more

Heide Hatry: HEART ATTACK EXHIBITIONS IN CANADA | New York on Apr 14 :
Before I inform you about upcoming exhibitions, I'd like to share something I just learned, which, though I hope you won’t need it, could prove valuable:
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK:
If you suddenly start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to extend out into your arm and up into your jaw, you might have only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
You can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously (a deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.)
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart starts beating normally again. (Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain its normal rhythm. That way you might make it to the hospital)
Tell as many other people as you can about this, as it may just be possible to save a life. ►more

Monty Cantsin Amen: ADDING FUEL TO THE FLAMES | New York on Mar 3 | I revitalized a bunch of works today by "adding fuel to the flames," that is a kind of poetical technic of controlled damage and self-vandalism to update and radicalize the shallow meanings of weakening artworks. By doing these alterations to my paintings I basically turn them into ironic anti-painting declarations questioning the value systems of art. How much these things are only silly jokes and how much they represent more than just fake smiles can be the main argument. Their visual confusion suggest an aesthetics of Neoist hierarchy that demonstrates defiance and apostasy. Behind the seemingly childish pranks there is a hidden solemnity, covered by the graffiti style words, but still decipherable for those who know my creative interest in exploring mockery and ridicule the idiom of formalist expressions. ►more

You do not know anything about me and you may be probably wanting to know why you're receiving this message, is it right?
I am ahacker who burstyour email boxand all devicesa few months ago. It will be a time wasting to attempt to contact me or alternatively try to find me, it's hopeless, since I forwarded you an email from YOUR hacked account.
I started malware soft to the adult vids (porno) site and suppose you visited this site to have some fun (you realize what I really mean).
During the time you were paying attention to movies, your internet browser started out to act as a RDP (Remote Control) that have a keylogger which granted me authority to access your screen and web camera.
Next step, my applicationgatheredall data.
You typed passwords on the web-sites you visited, I already caught all of them.
Without a doubt, you are able modify them, or possibly already modified them.
Even so it does not matter, my spyware updates needed data every 5 minutes.
What did I do?
I compiled a reserve copy of the system. Of all files and contact lists.
I have managed to create dual-screen record. The 1st part demonstrates the clip you had been observing (you've got an interesting taste, ha-ha...), the 2nd part demonstrates the video from your web camera.
What should you do?
Good, I think, 1000 USD is a good amount of money for our very little riddle. You will do the deposit by bitcoins (in case you don't recognize this, try to find “how to buy bitcoin” in any search engine).
