I should not have been surprised that this article would somewhat bash movies by just the title alone. Like Pat said in class, Menotti pretty much defines projection design aka VJing, by everything movies aren't. For instance, movies and projections are both art form and they both have a performer, but unlike VJing, movies have a negative performance where the audience coherence depends on the story. Also the medium in which projections are displayed also contradicts movies. Menotti believes that movies are perfect for theaters because they contains the audience and enables them to keep focus. Projections on the other hand, can illicit a variety of mediums because setting can actually be part of the piece or provide an intimacy that a movie can't.
Vasulka Art of Memory
So, I watched a few vasulka clips and I still don't understand what is going on on this site. I mean I get they are mutations of videos with unique filters, but I feel they lack substance. It seems like they all were just experiments on how to use this tech at the time. The one thing I did notice that most of the clips had, were there synthesia aspects. The works flow with the sounds but the sounds are just that; Sounds. No musical quality of about them.
