I'm obsessed with abstract films with optical soundtracks and I didn't know this one. 😱 "The optical soundtrack has been re-photographed to appear on the screen as the corresponding sound is heard."

About how Spotify—a bunch of advertising people interested in the streaming business, but not really in music—changed the music industry.

"Female Pioneers of VIsual Music". The talk is in Spanish, but it includes English subtitles.

“AI imagery looks like shit. But that is its main draw to the right. if AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, they wouldn’t want it.”

This was in October, it was really nice to meet him in person after many years of following his work. PyR Academy 2024 / Masterclass by Jonathan Gillie.

Brigitta Bödenauer - STRANDED // transient kinetic light sculpture.

I've just found out that there's a similar film by Jean Painlevé. In case you're not familiar with him, he was a filmmaker and photographer with a background in biology. He was specialized in underwater fauna and he has some experimental films related to that, which were the ones that I knew.

Is er overeenkomst tusschen klank rhythme en kleurafwisseling? (Is there a correspondence between sound, rhythm and color variation?, 1932), Willem Bon. #ExperimentalFilm #VisualMusic

Uit het rijk der kristallen (1927), J.C. Mol. #ExperimentalFilm

Now I wonder if this is why I love walking without a destination. 🤔 “The flâneur doesn’t walk to get somewhere, but to observe the passing scene; he is a consumer of images, responding to the world as if it were cinema.”

Mustererkenntnis (2019), Thorsten Fleisch. “When you stare at a screen for long, the screen stares back at you.” #ExperimentalFilm

Made a starter pack for the experimental film community. Please feel free to share and suggest more accounts. go.bsky.app/GxCaxqY

I have another account in Spanish. This one is mainly for my artist stuff and things that are directly related, the other one is more personal, so a bit chaotic. It's a bit strange… I created the other one a long time ago in Twitter for my film blog @makimono.es, that I don't really update anymore 🤷‍♀️

A couple of years ago I created a list of sites in which you can watch experimental films. There's a bit of a mix of general websites that include some experimental films, archives, etc. Probably you know most of them, but in case it's useful for anyone.

It’s really nice to suddenly see so many people from experimental film, media studies, etc. 💙

This is a super preliminary #starterpack of #ExperimentalFilm folks I've been able to find on BlueSky so far. If you're an experimental filmmaker, a film theorist, a distributor, gallery, or festival with an experimental focus, please let me know and I'll add you to the list! go.bsky.app/7UAchd8

Flickering dots, one of my favourite things.

😢 She was one the most important digital artists.

I don't use this account so much and probably only a few of… my very few, hahaha… followers are in Barcelona, but if you're here in October and interested in abstract film, animation, media art, etc. don't miss this.

Véra Molnar was born in Hungary in 1924, where she studied painting and art history. In the late 40s, she moved to France. She started working with combinatorial graphics in the 50s and with computers in the 60s. She learned Fortran and Basic and started making drawings using a plotter.

"It’s the happy people that scare me the most. They’re all standing around and it’s like they’re all laughing at the same joke and saluting the same general."

"While sons of musicians in the early twentieth century often found positions in the leading orchestras, their daughters often found employment in cinemas."

Primary colored dots expanding into tiny complex structures as a reaction to increasing pressure.

Do you know any fiction experimental podcast? I don't really know what that could mean, but I was talking with a friend about that and we're trying to find examples (maybe there're no podcasts, but probably there're sounds artists working in experimental fiction).

Word Movie (1966), Paul Sharits. #filmsky #experimental The title is self-explanatory, so I'm not going to explain anything else.

"Nilay Patel, the editor-in-chief of the tech publication the Verge, has been using the phrase 'Google Zero' to describe the point at which Google will stop driving any traffic to external Web sites and answer every query on its own with A.I."

"Companies developing artificial intelligence are often quick to avoid taking accountability for their systems with an approach much like a parent with an unruly child — boys will be boys!"
