Immersed in a single channel - abby


This reading really focused on how much you get paid, which honestly started to lose me. Though I did like the discussion of theater movies vs. being in an artistic space. The space can really change how the item is viewed. When I see something on YouTube, it tends to feel more like a stream of thought and time. While if I were to watch a movie like Deadpool on YouTube, it feels more like I am trying to see one little bit. This feels a little similar to art exhibits because of how I tend to walk in and watch parts of the feature, but with less control than YouTube. The only time I could honestly say something gets my full attention is when I am in a theater setting. Sitting in a sit in a dark room with multiple people makes me less likely to bring up my phone. It is one of the few times I think this generation is still able to give up a large amount of their attention for a long period of time.

Notes:
holding attention without taking up any space

now doing art with the gallery in mind

discussing financial and material space.

attention, distraction cognitive consumerism

Experimentation: narrative, essay films, experimental documentary, certain politic work
negative: any non-card calling film. Not multiple screen or interactive work

quality and quantity of the audience has a large deciding factor on where to show the work

theater vs. Gallery

fees and getting paid

the more inclusive the distributor is the less chance you have of getting rented or purchased

Posting on Vimeo and YouTube is in hopes that it will get recognized and exposure

there is risk showing it in a gallery because people can walk in and out at will

it is advantageous to show your work as an installation instead of as a video for payment reasons

a. lot of work just covers costs instead of actually making a profit considering how much has to go into it

the clock installation sold for 500k, but how do you sell something like this?

Some people will claim they saw a film that was 45 minutes long even though they only watched 8-10 minutes of it. This can be an issue with doing gallery.

People figure out if they should show in a theater or not based on the audience size sometimes, and who comes.


Alternative television

the paid circulation relies on distributers

people really tend to stay to "get the idea of it

The Precession of Simulacra

Simulacrum: image or representation of someone or something Borges fable: "On Exactitude in Science," (1946) short story by Jorge Luis Borges about the map-territory relation. In an empire where cartography becomes an exact science, a map is made that portrays every element of the country with perfectly accurate detail. A map that precedes what it depicts, and therefore causes the territory's rise, raises a simple but valuable dilemma of what is representation and what is real. The author says the sovereign difference between the representation and the real is what gives that abstraction charm. In this case, mapping is simply equating the real into a system of signs of the real. "The real will never have a chance to produce itself." It's like removing death as even an option in life. Simulate (from text): to feign to have what one doesn't have Dissimulate (from text): to pretend to not have what one has If one were to simulate an illness, he wo...

describing a cone

Image
"the space is real not referential; the time is real, not referential."  "the more people that are present the more 'solid' the form becomes."  what does he mean by that? does the presence of people effect how solid the cone becomes, or does he mean solid in a different way.  participatory performance I thought it was interesting that the viewing is shown in a traditional manner, but is also interactive and acts as an installation. He incorporates the experience of a screening, and the experience one might have in a gallery.  I also couldn't help but think about Picasso's light drawings in relation to McCall
