Film Installations: The Length of The Mean Free Path

The filmmakers will be present

SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE

800 Chestnut Street

San Francisco, CA, 94133

A collection of film sculptures which dispense with the stable relationship between audience and film projection in favor of an interactive system. Situations are generated which allow the viewer to enter into and manipulate the various elements involved. In positioning themselves within the constituencies displayed, the perceiver becomes an integral part of the apparatus. The aggregation of multiple degrees of organization, densities, velocities activated in the device induces a ternary combination.

Curt Thomas: Sudden Bounds, double Super 8 projection.

Patrick Delabre: Gridded Scroll, double projection of positive and negative light patterns onto sequential drawings.

Denise Hawrysio: Matrix: relations of productions corresponding to a determinate stage of development, glass prints, handmade paper, film.
