Articulated gap

Item is a video work created by Edward Slopek in 1983. The video is of a close-up of a speaking mouth, repeating a short philosophical blurb by Sir Alistair Hardy. Each time the speaker repeats, he seems to drop bits of words, making the passage of text more and more disjointed and garbled. In the end, it no longer has the appearance of spoken English. This is accompanied by an irritating single-note, high-pitched drone, which further alienates the viewer.

Slopek, Edward

Halifax Independent Producers series (2 of 5)

Item is a video work created by Dean Brousseau in 1984. Video was produced through the Centre for Art Tapes. Videos part of Halifax Independent Producers series (2 of 5). Dinner is an experimental documentary using a universal family event as its focus. Framed in snap-shot style, the video seems to arbitrarily “crop off” the participants, saving anonymity. This tape allows the viewer to concentrate on details of inpromptu etiquette and casual conversation around the dinner table, until, in the end, as with any family event, the camera is brought out to take pictures. On the cue “okay, smile!” the photographs taken are tossed one by one into the video frame, revealing at last the dinner participants in fuzzy Polaroids.
