Googolplex (1972):

One of Lillian Schwartz’s great experimental films, many of them made while she was artist in residence at Bell Labs in the early 1970s.

Look: http://lillian.com! A lot of information there. This is wonderful stuff which has been recently uploaded to Lillian Schwartz’s YouTube channel.

Masstransiscope

Couple of super clips on this Youtube vid of Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope, plus footage from the artist’s studio, with a wonderful prototype ‘zoetrope machine’. I also find the quality of this c1980 video footage quite beautiful. The piece was restored in 2008.

humans dig linear time and like to see/hear evidence of its ‘passage’

compression sound of vinyl = shock of the immediate, crackles the graded accumulation of time tachyons

digital formats with their on/off binary ok/fucked oppositions don’t indicate ‘human’ as commonly perceived in relation to ‘progress’
