Xcèntric: Construcciones espirituales

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 28/11/2016 - 03:30

Un programa de proyecciones en paralelo a la exposición “La máquina de pensar. Ramon Llull y el «ars combinatoria»”

Antes de que los artistas trabajasen con ordenadores, una serie de pintores de vanguardia, como Oskar Fischinger, Harry Smith y Jordan Belson, crearon un cine no narrativo que tenía en cuenta la geometría, las posibilidades de combinaciones matemáticas y también la espiritualidad. Tras estos visionarios, otros artistas como John Whitney abrazaron el nuevo medio de la imagen sintética para seguir indagando en la animación abstracta. Muchos otros autores y autoras han seguido su estela hasta nuestros días.

“The first book to consider video as an art form, was influential in establishing the field of media arts. In the book he argues that a new, expanded cinema is required for a new consciousness. He describes various types of filmmaking utilising new technology, including film special effects, computer art, video art, multi-media environments and holography.” (Wikipedia)

Geometry in motion
Wednesday, February 18 2013, 18h
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux
2, boulevard Clemenceau, 76600 Le Havre

A programme in resonance with the coming of the Centre Pompidou Mobile to Le Havre that will present "Circles and Squares," a selection of works about geometric abstraction.

Shortly after painting, cinema takes possession of abstraction in the first decades of the 20th century. After the first works (the chromatic music of the Italian Futurists, the colorful rhythms of Leopold Survage) it is in Germany where the first stream of abstract film develops.

Based on this historical avant-garde, this programme will provide an overview of geometry in motion along with American films and contemporary digital experimentation.

Cine expandido
Este libro se basó en artículos que publiqué entre 1967 y 1970 en The Los Angeles Free Press, el primero y el más influyente de los periódicos underground que florecieron en los Estados Unidos en esa época. Las columnas sobre nuevos medios aparecieron bajo el logo "Cine expandido", un término acuñado entre 1966 por el cineasta experimental y artista pionero de multimedios norteamericano Stan Vanderbeek. Investigué y escribí el resto del libro en 1969 y principios de 1970.
