DMTV3 Program (80 min):<\/span><\/div>\n
UNIVERSAL CODEC ERROR ABORTING VIDEO \/\/ James Connolly
\nJames is currently developing various video, new media, and research projects, teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and working as the assistant curator of the Roger Brown Study Collection. His interests lie mainly in system glitches, blips, disruptions, and destructions as well as art histories, criticalities, and artistic\/sociopolitical theories against hierarchical-authoritarian mainstreams. He destroys computers and cathode ray tubes in bright + noisy realtime performances and disrupts cultural and social data-flows in web and video-based hacks, glitches, and remixes. UCEAV is an examination of the errors that occur in everday video pirating.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
ASPARAGUS \/\/ Suzan Pitt
\nThis candy coloured nightmare rocked audiences upon its release and catapulted maker Suzan Pitt to the front ranks of indie animation.\u00a0 Stunning cel animation propels its blank-faced protagonist into the world of the phallus, rendered here as a field of asparagus, which she deep throats, excretes and flushes away\u2026 The film\u2019s stunning set piece occurs before a claymation audience who gape as the artist opens her Medusa\u2019s box to release rare wonders. A moving meditation on art and the cost of reproduction, Asparagus remains, twenty-five years after its release, a benchmark of single frame intensity. Suzan Pitt\u2019s works have pushed the boundaries of the animated film form, thriving in both the art world and the television, theatrical, and festival venues.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
FLESH GUN \/\/ Lale Westvind
\nLale Westvind is an Artist\/Illustrator living in NY. Her self-published titles include Hyper Speed to Nowhere, Chromazoid, Hot Dog Beach, Dubble Feecher, and Titus and the Cyber Sun.

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
SPECTRAL SEQUENCES SN-04-001 \/\/ Spectral Net
\nThe work of this quartet (comprised of Birch Cooper, Brenna Murphy, Sabrina Ratt\u00e9, and Roger Tellier-Craig) shifts visually and aurally between the analog and the digital. Equally influenced by psychedelia and analog synthesized feedback, these videos undulate, shimmer, and pulse with an electric current surging from a hyper-conductive wire plugged into a supernatural outlet. Playfully gliding back and forth between different outputs and inputs, this group of videos shows a willingness amongst the collaborators to bring together the all-too-often divide between these unique technological spaces. In doing so, this collection provides entry into a new world where the digital and the analog coalesce and fuse, creating a newborn child of saturated splendor.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
MORRIS \/\/ James Mercer
\nMORRIS follows two anonymous protagonists through waking and dream states. They glimpse a facility haunted by MORRIS, a life form with no body who only exists in dreams. Further exploration reveals fragments of a shadowy social structure in which MORRIS and the staff of the facility manipulate each other using bizarre symbols and mysterious scientific processes.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
OUTER OSMO GHOST MODE \/\/ Johnny Woods, Alan Palomo
\nJohnny Woods is an animator and visual artist living in LA. His work employs a variety of digital and analog technologies in the creation of expanded cinema inspired by his fascination with electronic video processing and computer animation. He has received commissions from MOCA, The Museum of Sex, and the Bonnaroo Music Festival, as well as from musicians like Big Boi, Skrillex, Neon Indian, Twin Shadow, Bear In Heaven, Chrome Canyon, and Hooray For Earth. Alan Palomo, better know by the Neon Indian moniker, wrote and scored \u201cOuter Osmo Ghost Mode,\u201d a fictional narrative centered around the interactions of Elda and Dell Banner, two online avatars stuck in the home map of a proto-virtual internet exploration program, Osmo.<\/span><\/div>\n
