[Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[Gene Youngblood]

There’s a lovely use of text at the end of Leighton Pierce’s “37th and Lexington” 2002.

Hi Shelly! 

My few suggestions include the already mentioned Scott MacDonald book, Screen Writings, which includes some Hollis Frampton and Yoko Ono text-based work, among many other interesting artists.  Other suggestions include a few of my own projects: Several years ago I riffed off of Ono's Paintings to Be Constructed in Your Head by writing a self-published short volume called Videos to Be Constructed in Your Head.  I could send you that booklet if you like.  And recently, for Experimental Film Fest Portland's installation exhibition in 2013, I collaborated with artist Jodie Cavalier on a participatory piece, Uncertainty Principle, that invited people to contribute an "imaginary movie, conceptual video, or written film" by writing it on a little form we provided and sticking it to the cork board we had put on the wall. See images here. I've been working on this kind of thing in my teaching too - in my Low Tech Cinema course at PSU, the first unit explores "no tech" imaginary, written films.

Keep me posted on how your research develops!
Julie
