Jan Svankmajer: “Dimensions of Dialogue”(Part 2)

My wife, Dana and I go through the types of things represented in the footage below on a daily basis.  The dynamics of the masculine and feminine relationship to and with each other, can be endlessly eternally satisfyingly frustrating.  Back in the early 1980’s, the Czechoslovakian born Jan Svanmajer illuminated and enlightened these types of human behaviorism’s with his particular brand of artw3rk. Which is like none other.   Uber Brilliant ideas and stop animationz galore.

Radiohead - “House of Cards” Video for Streaming or DL

The recently released Radiohead video for the track: “House Of Cards” is some high-fallutin’ high-techery at it’s finest. That’s right kids.. no cameras or lights were used in the making of this video!!  The footage by Radiohead, director: James Frost, & a multitude of unnamed technicians.. employs frickin’ laser beams!, Geometric Informatics , and other uber modern devices and formulae to create this post millenial music “video”. 

For those of you who want to see more than what Thom Yorke describes as, “the internet streaming pixellation squash” of the YouTube version and the likes.  There is a high resolution .mov file version of the video currently available for free download, thanx to Mr. Yorke and crew:

LEN LYE - genius, dada, futurist film-making artist of yesteryear

Len Lye, born Leonard Charles Huia Lye (5 July 1901, Christchurch, New Zealand - 15 May 1980, Warwick, New York), was a New Zealand-born artist known primarily for his experimental films and kinetic sculpture.

This guy has to be remembered as one of the all-time, transcendent pioneers of experimental film-making and animation. His flicks just blow me away. especially knowing how long ago they were made. Attached below are 3 of my favorite Len Lye Films. “Rainbow Dance” is like a frickin’ Beck video made 3 - 4 decades before he was even born. Boomness.

Len Lye - “rainbow dance” [1936]

Len Lye - “rhythm” [1957]

Len Lye “A Colour Box” (1935) + “Free Radicals” (1958)
