New Mikroloops performance premiere, 16mm multiscreen with live sound.
Inspired by aesthetics of explicit internet amateur videos, Mikroloops bring digital image back to a 16mm flash-and-freeze survey through the forbidden imagery.
Fear and trembling is new 16mm multiscreen live performace by Mikroloops group. Originating in amateur explicit video from various servers (***tube.com) Mikroloops reduce material into minimal half abstract fragments of source footage. Original videos are converted to an instant vibrato (or trembling), keeping its original character of voayerism and explicit nature, slowly expanding from trembling into stroboscopic fireworks. Inspired by pre-cinematic machines (two frame interchange of Thaumatrops), Mikroloops apply basic motion principles to videos from the internet age. Animation of objects from pre-cinema history extends to animation of entire media surface, using all its imperfection and compression dammage together with film specific dust and scratches.
