“SuperHero”-music video for Kool Keith X MF Doom, directed by Kris Merc
21 OctBelow is an excerpt from a Fader magazine article discussing the video:
“When I produced the track I pictured DOOM as a bunch of different Marvel characters,” Keith told The FADER over email. “Like two super heroic distinctive rappers with powers.” The clip’s director Kris Merc added a description of the video’s concept: “I wanted to capture something that felt like a visual pop travesty. I wanted it to visually speak to the legacy of the artists, and Afrofuturism mixed with comic book concepts. I’m a fan of the unseen, and I was obsessed with the idea of using DOOM’s mask and the iconography as a centralized point — as if time and space converged around these strange, sometimes magical tableaus and we were witnessing an ascension.”

“Ah Ouin”-music video for the band Chocolate directed by Jonathan Robert [mature content]
14 OctVery cool 70’s Peter Max style psychedelic fantasy video from Jonathan Robert. It makes me think of old schoolhouse rock and Sesame Street animations. But watch out, it gets a little bit sexy in there.

“Mutations”-Lillian F. Schwartz, 1973
7 Oct
Wow! Very meditative and interesting early computer generated animation from Lillian Schwartz. Below is text from her website:
Lillian Schwartz, resident artist and consultant at Bell Laboratories (New Jersey), 1969-2002. During the 70s and 80s Schwartz developed a catalogue of visionary techniques for the use of the computer system by artists. Her formal explorations in abstract animation involved the marriage of film, computers and music in collaboration with such luminaries as computer musicians Jean-Claude Risset, Max Mathews, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Milton Babbit, and Richard Moore. Schwartz’s films have been shown and won awards at the Venice Biennale, Zagreb, Cannes, The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and nominated and received Emmy nominations and awards.
Her work has been exhibited at, and is owned by, The Museum of Modern Art (New York), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), The Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), The Moderna Museet (Stockholm), Centre Beauborg (Paris), Stedlijk Museum of Art (Amsterdam), and the Grand Palais Museum (Paris). Lumen has collaborated with Lillian Schwartz and curator Gregory Kurcewicz to compile a touring package of these important works. “A Beautiful Virus Inside the Machine” features animations restored to video. “The Artist and the Computer”, 1976, 10 mins is a documentary about her work. Produced by Larry Keating for AT&T, “The Artist and the Computer is an excellent introductory informational film that dispels some of the ‘mystery’ of computer-art technology, as it clarifies the necessary human input of integrity, artistic sensibilities, and aesthetics. Ms. Schwartz’s voice over narration explains what she hoped to accomplish in the excerpts from a number of her films and gives insight into the artist’s problems and decisions.” – John Canemaker
