Between Film, Video, and the Digital. Hybrid Moving Images in the Post-Media Age
Encompassing experimental film and video, essay film, gallery-based installation art, and digital art, Jihoon Kim establishes the concept of hybrid moving images as an array of impure images shaped by the encounters and negotiations between different media, while also using it to explore various theoretical issues, such as stillness and movement, indexicality, abstraction, materiality, afterlives of the celluloid cinema, archive, memory, apparatus, and the concept of medium as such.

Never Twice: Live Expanded Cinema Performance

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 07/12/2015 - 03:32

December 11, 2015 – January 10, 2016
With Lary 7, Bradley Eros, Barbara Hammer, Ken Jacobs, Rose Kallal, Andrew Lampert, Bruce McClure, Joel Schlemowitz

Microscope is extremely pleased to present “Never Twice”, an exhibition of live moving image performance in the context of what is usually referred to as expanded cinema: works free from the constraints or presenting alternatives to the traditional theatrical screening setting – single projection on a screen before an audience. The title of the exhibit, a reference to the quote from Heraclitus “one cannot step into the same river twice”, emphasizes the ephemeral character of this art form, one always intrinsically connected to a “here” and “now”, a multi-sensorial experience that although it may be performed again, it cannot ever be replicated.

Binghamton Babylon: Voices from the Cinema Department, 1967-1977
In Binghamton Babylon, Scott M. MacDonald documents one of the crucial moments in the history of cinema studies: the emergence of a cinema department at what was then the State University of New York at Binghamton (now Binghamton University) between 1967 and 1977. The department brought together a group of faculty and students who not only produced a remarkable body of films and videos but went on to invigorate the American media scene for the next half-century.

Quel regard portent-ils sur leur parcours et sur les mutations décisives que connait aujourd'hui le cinéma, y compris «expérimental», envisagé dans sa dimension esthétique, pratique, technique, économique et institutionnelle?

Entretiens avec Martin Arnold, Frédérique Devaux, Olivier Fouchard, Ken Jacobs, Christian Lebrat, Rose Lowder, Nicolas Rey, Silvi Simon, José Antonio Sistiaga.
