Together in Electric Dreams - Phil Oakey (Human League)
From the 1984 movie "Electric Dreams"
Electric Dreams is a 1984 movie set in San Francisco, California that depicts a love triangle between a man, a woman, and a home computer. It stars Lenny Von Dohlen, Virginia Madsen and Bud Cort (voice) and was directed by Steve Barron.
The soundtrack features music from prominent popular musicians of the time, being among the first of the movies of this generation that actively explored the commercial link between a movie and its soundtrack. The sountrack album Electric Dreams was re-issued on CD in 1998.
The singer (AND CO-WRITER OF THE SONG) in the video is Phil Oakey of The Human League. This video is on "The Best of The Human League" DVD.
There is a cameo by Giorgio Moroder (the man wearing glasses who comes into the radio studio to find out what is going on), he is co-writer/producer Giovanni Giorgio Moroder on April 26, 1940 in Ortisei, Italy) is an Academy Award-winning Italian record producer, songwriter and performer, whose groundbreaking work with synthesizers during the 1970s was a significant influence on new wave, techno and electronic music in general. Particularly well known are Donna Summer's disco hits produced by Moroder, including "I Feel Love". Moroder is also the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which served as a recording home for artists ranging from Led Zeppelin and Queen to Elton John for much of the 1980s and 1990s.
Moroder was one of the producers of "Love to Love You Baby" -- Donna Summer's 17 minute opus -- along with Pete Bellotte. Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a variety of others including Swedish-born Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Debbie Harry and France Joli.
The VHS recording of this movie is rare. It was released in 1984 and again in 1991, but has not been manufactured since the mid-1990s.

Refait by Pied La Biche
"Refait" is a remake of the football WorldCup match between France and Germany (Seville, Spain, 1982). Shot by Pied La Biche in Villeurbanne (France), every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments.
The soundtrack is made up of the original commentaries mixed with interviews of the audience recorded during the shooting.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEE THIS VIDEO . so nice.. i cant not say any thing but to say : wonderfull
Metropolis by Rob Carter - Last 3 minutes by Rob Carter
Metropolis (2008)
Total running time: 9 mins 30 secs
robcarter.net/
Metropolis is a quirky and very abridged narrative history of the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. It uses stop motion video animation to physically manipulate aerial still images of the city (both real and fictional), creating a landscape in constant motion. Starting around 1755 on a Native American trading path, the viewer is presented with the building of the first house in Charlotte. From there we see the town develop through the historic dismissal of the English, to the prosperity made by the discovery of gold and the subsequent roots of the building of the multitude of churches that the city is famous for. Now the landscape turns white with cotton, and the modern city is ‘born’, with a more detailed re-creation of the economic boom and surprising architectural transformation that has occurred in the past 20 years.
Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, primarily due to the continuing influx of the banking community, resulting in an unusually fast architectural and population expansion that shows little sign of faltering despite the current economic climate. However, this new downtown Metropolis is therefore subject to the whim of the market and the interest of the giant corporations that choose to do business there. Made entirely from images printed on paper, the animation literally represents this sped up urban planners dream, but suggests the frailty of that dream, however concrete it may feel on the ground today. Ultimately the video continues the city development into an imagined hubristic future, of more and more skyscrapers and sports arenas and into a bleak environmental future. It is an extreme representation of the already serious water shortages that face many expanding American cities today; but this is less a warning, as much as a statement of our paper thin significance no matter how many monuments of steel, glass and concrete we build.
adel : oohh i just love this kind of video, of course about mega cities .. more about construction and how to see a new thinking of a human build they own cities..
fundamental , and abstract how they create a new style for living..

PERFORMANCE _ INJECT _

2010 Ars Electronica honored mention for this project
A human body is injected in a cistern. Over the course of 45 minutes, the pressure of the liquid exerts upon him multiple neurosensorial transformations. From his epidermal fiber to his nervous system, he reacts to influxes of viscosity in this liquid chamber. His cortex, lac king oxygen, gradually loses all notions of the real. Like a human guinea pig: a matter-body whose psychologica l states are the object of kinetik tableaux, of singular temporal spaces.

jenny holzer is famous for her short statements, formally
called ‘truisms’. some are common myths while others
are just phrases on random subjects in the form of slogans.
the sayings include:
‘a man can't know what it's like to be a mother’,
‘men are not monogamous by nature’,
‘money creates taste’,
‘a lot of professionals are crackpots’,
‘enjoy yourself because you can't change anything anyway’,
‘freedom is a luxury not a necessity’,
‘don't place too much trust in experts’.
her medium, whether formulated as a t-shirt, as a plaque,
or as an LED sign, always is writing,
and the public dimension is integral to the delivery of her work.
starting in the late 1970s with the posters that jenny holzer
pasted on buildings in new york city, and up to her recent
xenon projections on landscape and architecture,
her practice has rivaled ignorance and violence with humor,
kindness, and moral courage.
often holzer's work presents both explicit content and
minimalist aesthetics that make profound statements about
the world of advertising and consumer society today.
by presenting an assemblage of phrases that mimic advertising
slogans through vehicles commonly used in advertising,
such as electric billboards, coffee mugs, and commercials
on cable and network television, holzer questions what
our eyes can see and what we can't see in media,
whether consumers today have any real control over the
information that is provided to them.
going back to her years as a painter at the rhode island
school of design, holzer says she was influenced by the
‘clean, simple variations’ of minimalist aesthetics in artists
like donald judd, mark rothko and morris louis.
in her seoul exhibit, the artist has carefully arranged the
atmosphere of the gallery display so that viewers
‘won't feel as if they are in las vegas’
as they enter the room installed with electronic screens.
the meditative character of her art comes through with
the installation of two sandstone benches carved with
the artist's writings, which exist both as chairs and as
art pieces by themselves.

‘sublime and impressive’.

and since 1996, large-scale xenon projections of text
on buildings and landscape. she has realized these xenon
