collecting analogical movie scenes

2011-01-25T15:33:00.002+01:00

The idea that there are certain images/scenes that appear in all kind of movies fascinated me. At the beginning of this semester I started to create a collection of stills from movies, as basis for a research project on the meaning of this kind of cinematic imagery. To keep record of the collection process, I created another blog: http://analogicalscenes.blogspot.com

This is the project I did in the php course this semester. GoogleScape is a photo gallery based on images of the Netherlands, provided by Google Streetview. Basically, it is a photo exhibition curated by randomness, every minute the site refreshes itself and shows a new photograph. Check it out: GoogleScape

the silver bullet

the silver bullet from Sarah Janßen on Vimeo.

2-channel video installation, produced for the exhibition 'technological singularity' at 'planetart', Amsterdam. The title 'the silver bullet' refers to human striving for perfection, invulnerability and immortality. The technological progress makes some people believe that this aim is soon to be achieved.

silver

2010-01-14T00:00:00.000+01:00

For the speed assignment by our guest teacher Kees de Groot I am doing research about the element silver. It silver is used in modern technology for instance because it is antibacterial. I am interested in the fact that we are trying to become unvulnerable and perfect humans by technology. What intrigues me about silver is also the psychological part, the "cool" and modern image it has.
Here is are some scetch images I want to use for illustrating my ideas.

here's the scene I made during the stop motion workshop. It was the first time I used camera movement in stop motion work; still,I wanted it to fit to my other work, being something in-between photography and film.
