OF APPARITION |
INTERACTIVE ART
DVDROM |
This
DVD proposes a cinematographic approach combining the contemplative gaze
we traditionnally fix upon a painting or a photographic still, with the
dynamic responsive way we view movies. This ghostly gathering of mutable
figures is the first feature-lenght picture by John Oswald, the infamous
perpetrator of Plunderphonics. Includes a bonus multilingual soundtrack
CD.
L'Arc d'apparition is an audio-visual installation made up of several
monitors where images of a DVD of the same name are broadcast. Concomitant
yet desynchonized, the sequences present a group of faces and full-length
portraits in constant mutation. In this first feature film, John Oswald
associated the contemplative aspect traditionally seen in painting
and photographs to the dynamic reaction to the works on the screen.
L'arc d'apparition offers an innovative form of cinema that the artist
calls chronophotic.
The DVD was produced in 2003 during John Oswald's residence at Avatar,
an artist center dedicated to research and creation in audio and electronic
arts. Published by Ohm éditions, it was launched on the installation's
opening night, in the presence of the artist.
