Hi, everyone — One of my conceptual video icosacomposites has been selected to be in the PLACE(HOLDER) show at Gallery 263 in September. Greer Muldowney is the juror, she does some great photographic work, including a shared interest with wind turbines.

As a followup to yesterday’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, here are two more film icosacomposites for your enjoyment:
A while back I was playing with averaging and time-based media, and came up with Average Cinema, which are movies averaged frame-by-frame into a single field of color and then played as an installation. Because of difficulties in encoding color-field imagery using DVD and other area-based compression schemes, I haven’t posted the Average Cinema pieces
