Structuring Strategies: Fred Worden—'After Hours in the Cerebral Kitchen'
Tuesday, February 22, 2011, 19h
CalArts, Bijou Theater, 24700 McBean Parkway Valencia, CA 91355

Fred Worden has been making experimental film since the mid 1970s. His films have been shown in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, The Museum of Modern Art, The Centre Pompidou, The Pacific Film Archive, The New York Film Festival, The London Film Festival, The Rotterdam International Film Festival, The Toronto Film Festival, The Hong Kong International Film Festival and numerous other experimental film venues. Worden’s films develop out of his interest in intermittent projection as the source of cinema’s primordial powers. How a stream of still pictures passing through a projector at a speed meant to overwhelm the eyes might be harnessed to purposes other than representation or naturalism. A cinema of pure energy, say, that bypasses the discursive mind and goes right at the body, in through the eyes, pulsing, to jigger directly the brain’s electro-chemical neural flows, seedbed of every single thought or feeling. A cinema of direct experiences where stalking the unforeseen, non-translatable is everything. Worden teaches in the Cinematic Arts Concentration at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Urban Research 2011
Artists Exploring Contemporary Urban Space

The Urban Research Programme curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr is a special theme-based programme at The International Directors Lounge Media Art Festival. Urban Research has become a steady pool for innovative work concerning public space and urban development. An increasing number or artists act in response to the accelerated changes in the urban environment, demanding different ideas on how public place should be defined and created. These artists use documentary and experimental forms to create novel ideas about the urban environments under change.
