Hi Bernard
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this project.
Also thank you for summing up the guiding principle of our project so far
which is really the uncovering and retelling of stories of the early
innovators of amateur photography; documenting personal quests undertaken
as weekend activities or hobbies in basement dark-rooms. The idea is to
reach the obsession of recording images - juxtaposing modern-day
technological breakthroughs facilitating self-expression with the click of
a button with stories from the past. we wish to understand the complex
nature of inter-personal exchange of ideas, thoughts, morals and values
specifically through the recording of memories. the focus of our project is
the group of people that neither were expert amateur photographers nor
exceptional technicians. for them recording memories from family vacations,
raising children, buying their first cars etc was a form of personal
expression. maybe this indicates an interesting turnover in history where
the film-maker necessarily needs to become both the first participant in
the "making" of the film as well as the film's first "viewer."
The gradual build-up to today's world of vines, selfie-videos etc
definitely can be traced back to this point in time. Revisiting this period
of history is an interesting idea which seeks to celebrate individual
initiatives.
I am excited thinking of this project - of visiting a foreign city to
"encounter work that one does not actually ever have an opportunity to see"
apart from its representation on the web - images, comments, descriptions.
This trip is the beginning of a self-reflexive process which seeks to raise
questions on the way an artist's work is represented to us and the
circumstances in which it has been produced. Inevitably, this will lead the
people making the film to question their own standpoints and backgrounds.
Currently I am working on tracing people and events that happened in
Rochester; directly affected by Kodak; and both the Visual Studies Workshop
and the Squeaky Wheel are excellent suggestions to follow up. This also
suggests that though the site and later evolution of film-manufacturing
happened per chance in Rochester; it must have triggered a wave of interest
that sought to grapple with the arrival of the new form.

> Subject: [Frameworks] Rochester film
> Hi Suyash:
>
> It sounds like you are embarking on a video documentary. As I read
> over your request, I am reminded of my years in Rochester (until
> around 1999). But what I remember is the Visual Studies Workshop and
> screenings at the Dryden Theater of the George Eastman House. I think
> this raises interesting questions about the forms in which we
> encounter work by artists, and how these forms are affected by the
> circumstances of exhibition.
>
> How does one encounter work that one does not actually ever have an
> opportunity to see? How do we hear of work that sounds exciting? I
> remember reading the titles of works to be screened at Ann Arbor in
> the late '90s. These were announced programs online that didn't even
> include an image - just a brief description, the duration of the work,
> title, artist, and year. In Buffalo it was at Squeaky Wheel where I
> encountered such programs. There must be an archive there of
> documents regarding screenings, publicity, and how people met or
> collaborated.
>
> All this is to suggest that Kodak itself seems to deserve only
> incidental credit, having responded to a market in home movie making.
> The narrative would fit into a picture of recent changes in net
> culture that make it possible for people to make their own websites.
>
> I am attaching a document of texts I have put together as a reading
> list bearing on such alternative presses and artist-run spaces. No
> chapter appears in any of these materials describing the history of
> the Visual Studies Workshop, but we would just need to look further.
> As far as I know, no such book includes a chapter on the history of
> Squeaky Wheel. I recently received email publicity from an artist-run
> space in London called no.w.here. The collective is announcing Stop
> the Blocks, an effort to organize against gentrification affecting
> London's East End.
>
> The first and last of the entries on the attached summer reading list
> are also examples of innovation in "curating" or "editing" for book
> publication. The selection of work for a screening takes place in
> different contexts, but it ideally resembles a selection of texts for
> publication. For example, to collect material for the first text on
> my list the editor asked others to copy from books in translation that
> they liked. Each contributor submits the pages of the translator's
> preface or introduction, and the result is a "reader" or "course pack"
> that consists of photocopied pages from various texts translated into
> English.
>
> It seems to me that the Kodak project is an opportunity to think about
> the significance of individual initiatives. Kodak happens to be in
> Rochester. That's all.

> hello all
>
> i'm a 26 year old film-maker from mumbai, india traveling to
> rochester, new york in august-september this year. the purpose of my
> visit is a preliminary recce for an audio-visual project i am
> developing with my creative partner.
>
> our object is the study of cities vis-a-vis their relation to the
> history of cinema. as film makers we are drawn to Rochester due to its
> association with Kodak motion picture film. for generations now
> millions of memories have been imprinted on photographic plates that
> were all designed once at this historic sight by the Genesee river.
> Through documenting people,places, events, interactive exhibitions,
> art galleries, murals, amateur photography clubs we wish to identify
> the evolution of film manufacturing as a threshold moment in 20th
> century history. we see the development of film as a crossover of
> mankind's innovative genius with his creative instinct, both of which
> are in a constant state of flux.
>
> we would love to use this forum to reach out to those who could share
> any insight on the industrial development of Kodak and it's early
> working class environments. on this visit we wish to get acquainted
> with neighborhoods, schools, public housing projects, recreational
> parks, cinema halls and other such spaces that have an affiliation to
> Kodak.
>
> any leads would be highly appreciated; such as suggestions of
> locations or people who could be interviewed/documented!
>
> Thank you
