Gang of Four

1982 • 6 min • France

"Retrospectively, I could say that this work, realized collectively, was an essay of animation cinema, a clip with no other pretension than the pleasure of associating images to a song of the group Gang of Four. Our bias for the graphic framework was to take into account the rhythm and the sound atmosphere of the song, a few key words from the text and the images filmed during the concert."

Konjunkturkunst

1982 • 50 min

Visual memos by Auto Awac, the group name used by Kees de Groot, Frank Morsinkhof, Ron Sluik and Emile Toorop. Small personal events and ordinary technology alternate. Subjects like a digital clock, a laundromat, a recorder and a filmclip promoting an electronics factory are experienced just as subjectively as walking through a cornfield or living in a dormitory. On one page of this visual diary is a musical improvisation - one of the artists plays the trumpet for the first time; on another, pieces of a TV show. This romanticism of the technological society is borne not only by impulsively chosen and reworked pictures, but especially by its own electronic music. The initial title of (a part of) the work has been 'In the Interest of Science and Technology'.

Videoscreen 696 TV

1982 • 20 min

An impressionistic piece of work, composed out of several movement experiences. A landscape glides by behind a rainscattered train compartment window. In fact the journey goes nowhere, although a map suggests the contrary. As useless as the automatic panning controls camera in a large clothing store only reflects clothes horses. Also shots from a car on the highway, pictures of combat planes on a military airport or shots in the Amsterdam subway are not focused on telling a specific story. Sometimes they are transformed into abstractions, literally and emotionally. They are daydreams backed up by rhythm and sounds from Heyink’s synthesiser.

2 Chinese Characters

1982 • 2 min

The films of Thomas Feldman are represented neither by the imagination nor (less) by the course of events. Until the end of the films, their true nature is the drama that finds a place at the borders and edges of existence, in which it will focus and intensify and that is why it is an image. . The action takes place less in the images than between the images, in the narrow sphere of darkness, which joins the image with the image and from which they draw their mystery… Movements, rhythms, cuts: these elements give Feldman's films their body language, the invocation of their materiality, their eroticism. All the films are marked by the unforeseen: like sudden pain, like blossoming happiness, like the transgression of limits or barriers, like the explosion of colors.

Hexes

1982 • 3 min

Let's pretend that the friction between mono- and dicotyledonous forms (between, say, "lilies tulips the hyacinth" and "fruit blossoms the briar rose the passion flower" or, as here, English ivy) generates green. Partially computer generated. "What triangles do when no one is watching." - Andrzej Ehrenfeucht
