VIDEO ART

[Dirtbag]

Does anyone here do VIDEO ART? Do these videos accompany your performances? Is there any video art you appreciate?

The stuff is not for everyone. I just got a VHS in the mail from one distro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stcQxaI_Jxw. Sitting on the dresser with other tapes I haven't gotten to yet.

Anything shot on VHS, DV, Hi-8, Digital 8, hell even Betamax.

Not sure if this is what you had in mind but some work I've done with video:

And no as Diseased Peasant has never played live it has never been apart of my performance. If I ever did play live I doubt I would use any form of video art.

I'd recommend Abre Ojos (funny, I was just thinking of this project today) - dark, modular synthesised drones and sounds with wordless vocals and real-time video imaging.

Also, Robin Fox's "Backscatter" dvd, using "an old analogue oscillioscope" in time with fucked up electronics. Very good stuff, gets a lot out of a little.

I've had the pleasure of witnessing both these projects live and they are well worth the time. Also agree about the Botborg dvd, gets pretty intense sometimes (my copy stuffed up, unfortunately, so nice to see it on Archive).

I do video art with a bunch of equipment I've modified myself. I do it to accompany my own music as well as the live performances of others. Here's some examples:

VHS compilation I did the visuals for:

Another VHS I did:

Some live performances I've done with other artists (although my contribution isn't captured too well in these vids):

As far as suggestions for other artists I haven't really found many that consistently use video to accompany their music/performances. Mostly just projects that will do it for a special release of some sort. Check out ADVENTUREFACE, for some cool stuff.

Collaborative realtime project by James Connolly and Kyle Evans that breaks and disrupts the interfaces of analog televisions and computer monitors through hybridized analog and digital systems to produce flashing, screeching, wobbulating, self-generated electronic noise and video.

Worth checking out for tutorials, schematics & misc. stuff.

I'm planning to finally get my video hardware set up this year for some video feedback/glitch stuff, been working on some digital feedback-based stuff for a while too:

this thread made me think of Brizbomb, who once mentioned abandoning audio synthesis for video synthesis and apparently has very much done so!

here is a short triptych I made based on the Sandra Cantu case... It screened at the Tesco Fest 2011 in NYC with some other video work by Peter Sotos...

I imagine you're right but I'm sure there are people who appreciate it as it is anyway. Simplicity and immediacy have their own charms. It's certainly that way with Noise.

Video is my main medium as far as creative output goes. In the past 10 years, I've experimented with different methods and techniques, generally inspired by the "industrial culture", radical performance art and collages. It varies immensely, but here's a few short titles you may enjoy.

I've recently finished a feature experimental/performative film about pro-ana culture (pro-anorexia) and the spectacle of self-destruction through social media. It features music from PM Tremblay (Âmes Sanglantes) and Frederic Arbour. It's getting on the festivals' circuit this year. Here's the website for images and trailer:
