[Frameworks] Video Program at Millennium Film Workshop this weekend

[Fred Camper]

I'd like to strongly recommend this program.

Unlike most video art I've seen, Barningham's reveal their materials,  
often including extreme pixilation, but also have a powerfully  
self-destroying,
"coming apart" effect. And more.

> Barningham's work is concerned first and foremost with the textures,
> rhythms and colors possible in video. Largely using re-appropriated
> footage from amateur meteorologists across the country, the videos in
> this program re-invision landscapes not as majestic natural sculptures
> but as objects, like video, that are struggling to exist. Colors and
> shapes snap, gesticulate and then dissolve in a membrane of pixels.
> Trees and clouds shift restlessly against ill-defined spaces and  
> tremble at the hand of invisible forces.  Large fields bathe in  
> scattered rays
> of light which arrive as quickly and as painfully as they vanish.
