“Sausage City” by Adam Beckett
6 DecThe first time I saw an Adam Beckett film, I believe it was “Flesh Flows”, my skin went all goosebumpy and my head felt like it had detached from my body. His work is truly psychoactive media. Consisting of hand drawn animated “infinite” loops shot on film and manipulated on the optical printer (this is pre-digital), his films take the viewer on a hypnotic journey into a world of slippery forms and shifting time. Adam Beckett was an experimental animation student at the California Institute of Arts in the early 1970’s. His untimely death at the age of 29 prematurely interrupted a prolific career. Legend has it that Beckett lived in the CalArts Optical Printer room for weeks on end and some say that his ghost still resides there. I hope you enjoy this rare experience.
If you want to see more of Adam Beckett’s work, there is a DVD of beautifully restored films available from the Iota Center.

C2C Brings the Beat
6 DecIt’s hard not to like these guys. If you can dig a bit of hip-hop, their beats are crazy smooth. If you’re an idealist about journeys into the music industry, the group is formed from four high school friends who found a passion in digging through old records and working turntables; now they’re the reigning champions at international competitions for the genre. And if by some chance you happen to have an interest psychedelic videos, theirs are off the hook. Each a very different style, each a joy to watch. They come from France, and so for now they’re bigger in Europe than in the US, but this kind of quality is bound to catch on.
