Noise Driven Ambient Audio And Visuals

BY Kevin HaineyPublished Jun 1, 2006

This outstanding collection of extremely far-out experimental videos makes for wickedly intense viewing. Chock full of vibrant, hyper-speed images from very alien lanes of visual imagination, the 13 short flicks are heavy on the computer-generated effects and glitchy electro-noise accompaniment without feeling overly cold or sterile, thanks to the filmic ideas of organic process and emotional connection they incorporate. The opening eight are by this collection’s renowned New York-based curator, C505 (or Yoshi Sodeoka), who also made the music as KNBS with Sean Rooney, and the final five are by guest directors with similarly abrasive soundtracks. All are mind-blowing. (YouWorkForThem, www.youworkforthem.com )
