THE INVALIDS – Mary Billyou (9:15)

PAINTED SPACES - BenniiD. (13:22) work in progress version
The second animation in the series of filmic dreamscapes by BenniiD., Painted Spaces is a culmination of complex layering of life, art and the reflections meshed between the two. Images are overlapped like the sounds, peeling through the virtual space of the movie screen like a pallet knife through wet paint. Reality and painting coincide as one entity as they slide through time, transcending their own “real” space from which they were derived/stolen.

CHOPIN’S BICYCLE – Eric Dyer (5:00)
B-BALL ETUDE – Eric Dyer (2:30)
SHORT RIDE IN A FAST MACHINE – Eric Dyer (4:30)
What happens when a musical score is played on a visual instrument? In this trilogy, each pitch of a musical piece is linked to a visual element (bicycle parts, a basketball game, abstract lines & imagery). The volume of a note becomes an image’s opacity. Clips’ luminance values are added together when chords are played. Using these principles, a master composer can posthumously provide the structure for a video piece – a medium he could never have dreamed of. The third part of this trilogy, Short Ride In A Fast Machine, was commissioned by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, who performed the soundtrack live to a projected screening of the video during their Symphony In Motion event this past April.

PAPILLION D’AMOUR – Nicolas Provost (4:00)
