I Love Video

daily jams of video love

I hate remakes with a passion.  I believe the same film shouldn’t be done unless its going to be 100 x different.  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by David Fincher does absolutely nothing to make the cinematic experience any different from the original swedish film.  With that said, the only portion of the film I enjoyed and was different from the original was the opening sequence.  Enjoy!

Matsumoto Toshio MONA　LISA-1973

seems like everyone has their own version of this lady since davinci kicked it back in the early renaissance but she’s become the ultimate muse.

Have I published before?  For some bizarre reason, I’m feeling a big case of deja vu;  but here it is anyways.  THE NEW WAVE, exploring the new field of video art. (1973)

After seeing Sanja Ivekovic’s SWEET VIOLENCE exhibit at the moma, I can honestly say she reminded me of my own work.  Her usage of media and found footage, juxtaposition of images.  One thing I’ve never liked about most feminist art was how the female artist uses her own sexuality and beauty to promote that work, whether forced or done un-consciously.  Go take a look for yourself.

Never was a big Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan nor a fan of Ed Ruscha, but seeing them together in this video made me happy.

I love lo-fi! awesome video; 

PALACE: TRES TRILL VIDEO 

Saragossa Manuscript by Wojciech Has 1965

When “Inception” came out, people were quick to claim it as their favorite film of the year or even dared to say EVER.  I enjoyed the film but was reserved on its praise as a unique method of storytelling.  Why?  Because I had seen “Saragossa Manuscript.”

David Lynch on avant*garde;

Wish I was able to understand what they were saying.  Seems like a great video series, almost as good as ILOVEVIDEO’s skype video series.
