The (1st!) Keno City Film Festival

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 11:52:22 -0400

It’s been a little while since I’ve updated this blog. If you want the latest, I update my Twitter account regularly.

I’ve gone ahead and created a new Film Festival in the small Yukon community of Keno City. This started as me just screening my film “The 2017 Keno City Music Festival” for the town to see, but I realized it was a good opportunity for a program of Keno-related films. This included…

The Grand Journey Here @ Scenic City

https://vimeo.com/234348306

This short art film, my first, has certainly travelled well since its completion in 2015. This screening in Owen Sound, where my father was born and raised, is most likely the last stop before it becomes available online for streaming.

There are some aspects to the work that might be easy to miss on first blush. I understand with this medium that it may be a failure…

thousand voices murmered through fever’s ether
urging nonsense
tourists of sickness
visitors to the outer bedlands.
burn everything after falling in the same spot for days.

We are also very excited to realize that this is the very first…

Interview with Artist Otino Corsano

Fri, 17 Apr 2015 17:40:27 -0400

Interview with Artist Otino Corsano:

This is the fifth in a series of 11 artist interviews I conducted in 2014 titled “a new space; artists and social media”. You can learn more about this academic research project at http://artistsandsocialmedia.tumblr.com/

Corsano is a New Genres Artist from California now based in Toronto, Ontario. He works in a variety of media and his art writings and artist interviews are published in ArtUS Magazine. Drawing inspiration from the “neo-conceptual” school enables Corsano to avoid being locked into any one production mode. One notable series are his “Quick Draw” artist interviews that utilize Facebook’s IM Chat feature to record and document conversations with international artists (http://artpost-oc.blogspot.ca).

Interview with Artist Justin Lincoln

Posted on 4 Days Ago by artlistpro This is the fourth in a series of 11 artist interviews I conducted in 2014 titled “a new space; artists and social media”. You can learn more about this academic research project at http://artistsandsocialmedia.tumblr.com/

April 2014 Lincoln is an experimental artist and educator whom I have been following on Tumblr for about four years. He is a well known artist using social media and his recommendations to me on who else to contact for this project proved invaluable. Lincoln is concerned with how we are dealing with, for the first time in history, such huge influxes of data due to online networks. He describes the information we have now as “atomized” and, as artists, we take this information and combine them in new and meaningful ways. His practice is to incorporate other artist’s blogs, as well as own content, into a series of “blogmix” videos. This process started when he started to sees “likes” as a run-off of content that he did not want to share as he would lose followers through the sheer amount of diversity of this content. He then realized there is many types of liking, and wondered what it would look like if one were to speed scroll through them. Citing the Structural Film movement of the 70s, Lincoln sees film montages as mirroring the moving images one after another we see in our daily lives online.

Interview with Artist Brad PhillipsPosted on 4 Days Ago by artlistpro This is the third in a series of 11 artist interviews I conducted in 2014 titled “a new space; artists and social media”. You can learn more about this academic research project at http://artistsandsocialmedia.tumblr.com/ http://www.bradphillips.ca Phillips is a visual artist based in Toronto, Canada. Noted for his presence on social media, Phillips participated in my project due to having “definite” opinions on other artists using social media. His presence is tied to his artistic process of documenting his own life autobiographically and problematizes it by manipulation. He presents an idea, a persona of a male artist that emphasizes the cliches and leaves out the “boring shit”.

Praise of Laziness - As an artist, I learned from both the East (socialism) and the West (capitalism). Of course, now when the borders and political systems have changed, such an experience will be no longer possible. But what I have learned from that dialogue, stays with me. My observation and knowledge of Western art has lately led me to a conclusion that art cannot exists any more in the West. This is not to say that there isn’t any. Why cannot art exist any more in the West? The answer is simple. Artists in the West are not lazy. Artists from the East are lazy; whether they will stay lazy now when they are no longer Eastern artists, remains to be seen. (artist statement)
