FILMTEXT
is a digital narrative for cross-media platforms including Flash
animation, mp3 soundtracks, experimental artist ebook, and live
net performance.
Created in the tradition of filmmakers such as Vertov, Godard
and Marker, FILMTEXT attempts to translate cinematic language
into more multi-linear navigational forms associated with emergent
new media genres such as net art, hypertext, and motion graphic
pictures.
FILMTEXT integrates my digital film/video art, digital photography,
writing, animation, and sound art into a unique online work
of interactive cinema. The work also comes equipped with an
mp3 concept album and a conceptual art ebook.
As with many works of digital art, FILMTEXT initiates three
separate, yet interconnected, artistic unfoldings: image, sound,
text.
The project is currently being developed at the University of
Colorado's TECHNE practice-based research initiative under the
direction of Professor Mark Amerika. TECHNE focuses on the evolving
forms of digital narrative, multi-media performance, and network
installation, while paying particular attention to the research
and development of hybridized forms of Internet art that challenge
conventional exhibition contexts. |
