I’m beginning research on moving image media works that couple and complicate the relations between the following events, with an emphasis on the time they take: the time-of-the-profilmic-event, the time-of-the-recording-apparatus, the time-of-the-assembly-protocols, the time-of-the-display-apparatus, and the time-of-the-viewing-experience.

Time lapse, slow motion, closed-circuit works and delay systems, and even the simplest continuity edit, which purports to build a single event for the viewer out of disparate events before the camera, partake of this trouble.  But I’m looking for works that critically investigate and exploit these relations.  Man with the Movie Camera, of course and as usual, made all of these features explicit through undercranking, overcranking, animation, jumpcuts, cross-cutting times and spaces, superimpositions, split-screens, and the use of the movie house itself.

Things I already love: Ernie Gehr’s Serene Velocity, Nancy Holt’s Boomerang, and Ken Jacob’s Tom Tom and his Nervous Magic Lantern performances.  From the conceptual media side of the aisle: Bruce Nauman’s Live-Taped Video Corridor, Dan Graham’s tape delay works, Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho, and many of David Claerbout’s works.

I’m looking for other canonical materials, especially expanded cinema works, and more contemporary efforts, ones that split these relations even further: between image capture and image playback, there is processing, whether optical and analog or digital: compression schemes, datamoshing, and spline morphing, i.e., "bullet time" and other interpolation protocols.
