Description for catalogue

This looping video-art piece is a playful comment on how spectatorship and disconnectedness often happens in the contemporary art gallery space.  Through the use of famous film scenes that show the perspective from a piece of art, Burnt Pixel uses this roll-reversal to display the tension new-media artists often have in conforming to the contemporary art space.

This is one in a set of six video-art pieces that use appropriated copyrighted film footage.  Drawing from 10 years of live video mixing (VJing) to bands and DJ’s. Burnt Pixel applies Dada and Fluxus ideas of appropriation, chance and cut-up to copyrighted found footage from popular and cult film by using programmatic procedures and interactive inputs. A visual form of Musique concrète. 

To see the other pieces on opening night ask a student for directions.
