Independent Frames: Bodymania

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 13/02/2017 - 04:49

From morphing bodies engaged in rapturous copulation (Desire Pie) to disembodied parts (The Club, Seed Reel), artists respond to the waning sexual revolution and the women’s movement, expressing agency and stimulation while at the same time depicting complex forms of desire.

Independent Frames: Exploded View

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 13/02/2017 - 04:34

Artists discovering animation in the mid-1960s and early 1970s did so in a culture of pop art, psychedelia and Marshall McLuhan’s media theory. They responded by creating overwhelming works of graphic collage, violent flickering colours and sensory overload. Exploded View begins with a look at several foundational works from animators whose explorations of radical form and content stood out in the 1960s, from established figures like Stan Vanderbeek and Disney animator Ward Kimball to lesser-known, underground artists such as Fred Mogubgub and Irene Duga.

Chaos and Order, an iotaCenter Salon

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 16/08/2016 - 03:21

Witness a collection of visual music from across time and from around the world that represent the spectrum of rationality. Order on the one side and chaos on the other. Are they truly polar opposites? Is there order in total chaos or chaos in highly organized forms? Tell us your thoughts in this night of films and discussion.

Salons are a signature component of the iotaCenter, the world’s first organization devoted to visual music. These are wonderful nights where we get together as a community of artists, academics and curious onlookers to pontificate on the wild and abstract works called “visual music.”

Adam K. Beckett - Complete Works 1970-1979
Adam K. Beckett was an alchemist of the animated image. His brilliant, ground-breaking, films made in the 1970s still resonate today, seething with psychedelic imagery, abstraction, and playful eroticism, transcending the carnal to the cosmic. His optical virtuoso was a significant force in both animation and visual effects. He won numerous awards for his animations, contributed to the innovative work at the young Robert Abel and Associates, and was head of animation and rotoscoping on the inaugural Star Wars movie (1977).
