DIM Cinema: Signals in the Sea

By Michele Smith on Mar, 02/04/2019 - 08:19

This selection of artists’ films looks at bodies of water through technologies of seeing, sensing, and investigation to help us imagine different ecologies and less visible, even alien environments. Exploring various approaches to “remote sensing,” these works frame life on an increasingly unliveable planet through militarized and infrastructural forms of oceanic space. What can the relationship between the visibility of a watery surface and the invisibility of what exists below it tell us about possible futures — on and beyond our own environments?

Balagan presents... DIY Dystopia
Thursday March 14, 2013 19:30h
Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle Street in Cambridge, MA USA

With the natural world teetering on the brink of multilateral catastrophe, a group of analog filmmakers have taken matters into their own hands. Through direct contact with the medium – lifting and reassembling images on the film strip – adhering waste matter to celluloid – leaving emulsion to languish in the landfill – the artists interpret physical processes that ravage our land. Their grave methods yield results of unexpected poetry, vibrancy and beauty.

Attendees of this show will also receive a special, locally-produced, collaborative zine, made available through the Papercut Zine Library!

Composed of the multiple screen video installation Wandering through Secret Storms as well as new works, this solo exhibition project addresses the relationship between archives, public memory and practices of surveillance. Presented in a creative mise-en-scène, Christina Battle's moving image work forms the nexus around which will be displayed communication devices (camera, radio, telephone) from private and public collections coupled with documents from local archives, thus situating surveillance as a practice affecting all communities – regardless of their urban or rural specificities.

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Christina holds a B.Sc. in Environmental Biology from the University of Alberta and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. For the past 10 years, she has worked within Toronto’s vibrant artist-run culture as jury member, arts administrator, technical coordinator, committee member, board member, curator and educator for various organizations including the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto, Gallery 44, The Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre, The Images Festival, and the Ontario College of Art and Design. Working with film, video and installation, her works explore themes of history and counter-memory, political mythology and environmental catastrophe. Her artworks have been exhibited internationally in festivals and galleries including: The Images Festival (Toronto), The London Film Festival (England); The International Film Festival Rotterdam (The Netherlands); YYZ Artists’ Outlet (Toronto); White Box (New York); The city of Toronto’s Nuit Blanche 2006 and in the 2006 Whitney Biennial: “Day for Night” (New York).

Christina currently lives in Denver, Colorado and is an Assistant Professor in the Film Studies Department at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
