One-Off Moving Image Festival 2020

We're excited to invite you to the third edition of One-Off Moving Image Festival!
This year we have two programs. In addition to showing one second movies together with 60sec movies, we're also showing long single take movies. The theme is "Browsing right and wrong".
All movies are screened during the festival February 10 - 16, 2020 in Valencia (ES) and Gol (NO) in addition to the net. We use routers and QR-codes to screen the movies on smartphones in public spaces. Since the long single take movies are considered performative and site-specific the One-Off festival takes place at the location of the movies and becomes a distributed event. In this manner we've been able to screen the year 2020 in year 2017 - and even as far back as 2011 - in an anticipatory participation or plagiarism! One-Off 2020 also offers an experimental peer screening, where the shooting site of a movie contains reference to a peer movie (a printed QR-code placed at the location) perhaps in an attempt to displace its own (psychogeographical) mapping.
We're collaborating with 60Seconds Festival in Copenhagen (DK) taking place in parallel, to physically screen a selection of the one second movies mixed with 60 seconds movies in public spaces in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Køge and Helsingør during the festival week.
In addition, all one second movies will be included in the next Leap Second Festival, an irregular x-ennale lasting one second.

Synthetic Zero:The Virtual is (Always) Already Real - January 11-18.2020 BRONXARTSPACE, NYC

ARTISTS

Sandra Araujo Kaixi Yang Karl Heinz Jeron Jeff Thompson Angeles Cossio Amay Kataria Eugenia Pigassiou Eden Mitsenmacher Maya Quattropani Danielle Freakley Leon Richmond Guli Silberstein Barbara Rosenthal Patrick Moser Juergen Trautwein Julia Maria Sinelnikova

Digitally mediated human interactions have intertwined themselves into the fabric of our lives, changing our social and political life worlds, our emotional and mental lives, and our bodies and physical reality. It’s a virtual reality which cannot be separated from “real” reality. The event will include interactive installations, digital video, prints, sculptures, and visual art. The show is free to the public.

Installation shots from the gif_me_a_break exhibition at Galerie Marek Kralewski, Freiburg

The perpetual recurrence of the same, gif_me_a_break, and meta_dudes, dimensions variable, 2018

Jürgen Trautwein

Leidenschaftlich aufs Zeitgeschehen bezogen ist Jürgen Trautwein. Der in Bruchsal und San Francisco lebende ehemalige Meisterschüler von Bernd Koberling ist Maler, Zeichner, Medienkünstler und einiges mehr. In der Galerie Kralewski ist er als spöttischer Zeichner unterwegs, der mit Sottisen des Zeitgeists aufspießt, die Dummheit in Politik und Gesellschaft. Seine Zeichnungen im Cartoonstil füllen eine ganze Wand, umrandet von schwarzen Mäandern als Chiffre der "Perpetual Recurrence of the Same", so der Titel: von Nietzsches ewiger Wiederkehr des Gleichen. Die Leerstelle in der großformatigen Zeichnung "Meta_Dude" – ein Monitor, hinter dem sich ein karikaturistisch reduzierter Nerd verschanzt hat – repräsentiert den Bildschirm des Laptops in der Computerinstallation davor. Über den Screen laufen animierte Zeichnungen, Inhalte von Trautweins Homepage. "Gif_me_a_break" – übersetzt meint der Titel, der zugleich die Ausstellung bezeichnet, so viel wie: "Halt mal die Luft an!" "Ach, lass mich doch in Ruhe!".


Die missmutige Ansage gilt den Kalamitäten einer Zeit, der Trautwein ein wenig schmeichelhaftes Zeugnis ausstellt. Der kontemporäre Mensch: eine Spezies mit Brett vorm Kopf und Strichcode an der Glatze, die Welt: ein einziger Kriegsschauplatz. Dazu das Auge Gottes als NSA-Algorithmus und Donald Trump beim Stuhlgang: zum Runterspülen.
Dieter Fronz in der Badischen Zeitung

Leap second festival 2012

Leap second festival

Festival flyer. Forwarding appreciated.

Festival program

The leap second is approaching... The coming Saturday at midnight, 30th June 23:59:60 (UTC), the first Leap second festival will take place. It will last until the 1st of July 00:00:00 (UTC). Within this leap second all the works of the festival are exhibited and performed.

There are thirty-seven participants exhibiting and performing works of different types - video, audio, text, poem, visual, visual text, animation, conceptual, instructional, narration, dedication, musical score, polemic (if we want to categorize them as such).

The participants are A. Andreas (Andreas Maria Jacobs), Cristina Andries, Sissel Berntsen, Brian Blaney, Ana Buigues, Yiorgos Chouliaras, Elisabeth S. Clark, Simon Coates, Roger Cummiskey, Chris Funkhouser, Peter Grass, Mathias Hauan Arbo, Martin Howse, INTERLICHTSPIELHAUS, Karl Heinz Jeron, Halvard Johnson, Irena Kalodera, Daniel Kelley, Jyrki Kirjalainen, Bonnie MacAllister, Bjørn Magnhildøen, Nick Mattan, albert negredo, Pasha Radetzki, Stefan Riebel, Jesse Scott, Alan Sondheim, Anthony Stephenson, Otto Tall, andrew topel, jurgen trautwein aka jtwine, Nico Vassilakis, Visuel Sound : Blaise Merino & Irène Strubbe, Paul Wiegerinck, Jan Windle, Margo Wolf.

Most works are shown in digital format and using the net as their venue, though their content might as well refer to other formats, venues and domains - whether online, offline, outline, site, on-site, non-site (or how we prefer). The festival is a distributed event coordinated on the net.

Most works last one second. Though some are time-independent (in format), the basic idea of a miniature work that can be exhibited/performed within one second is followed.

Since the festival only lasts one second, everything has to be shown simultaneously. So, Saturday at midnight, 30th June 23:59:60 (UTC), people going to the Leap second festival site will be able to see all the works executed, exhibited, and performed (or what it takes).

In reality, the festival is an event that happens in a particular time, and not in any particular place. And since we all share the same time living on this free oscillating ball, disregarding relativity theory for the moment, the festival will actually take place everywhere and at the same time. We earthball-people operate with timezones, so take care to check when 30th of June 23:59:60 (UTC) is likely to happen in your temporary zone (autonomous or not), because the leap second does not occur on June 30 everywhere. Have a look at what UTC time is and compare to your clock to know when it's due.

With this in mind, we proceed to the festival program, and have a look at what will happen during the leap second.

All @ 23:59:60

• A number of video and visual works will be shown. A mini movie with and without media by Paul Wiegerinck investigates the minimal requirements of the movie media.Bending Time and Space 1 Second for 10 Times by Jyrki Kirjalainen explores the perceptional illusion of time contraction through a repetition of a one-second sequence of the earth exploding. Change Brief Abridged by Anthony Stephenson is a series of motion studies based on the multi-paneled painting titled "Change - 3 Coins 64 Times". Martin Howse describes in container//mpeginmpeg a set of content-free, protocol-driven code objects which are embedded Russian-doll-style within themselves, in this instance one single video frame, and further explains, "The code for each object (commandline, Python or C code) is self-consciously literal, describing the process as algorithm without shortcuts. The container project embraces the use of the quine with any compiler considered as an embedding device. Future container examples will extend to include film-in-film and pornography-in-pornography. The container project raises the question of where any protocol boundaries for embeddings can be established". Irena Kalodera's film suite I-II can be considered, in the festival's opinion, self-referencial 'motion pictures' and meta-framing. millisecond(s) by Jesse Scott is an executable/applet of generative, random programming. 
  
  shut@#%$^$up by Cristina Andrieș is described as "The necessary solution to an unnecessary situation" and might be said to be a short and brutal political statement. INTERLICHTSPIELHAUS is showing six approximate seconds, based on 3D-model animations (as far as we know). The stitch by Ana Buiguesdemonstrates in the textile arts the extra stitch at the end of every round that one has to do, and without which the next round gets too tight. Whatever by Jan Windle is a 0.8 second polemic on the relationship of the present to the future (leaving some time for reflection before the festival ends). Bonnie MacAllister will be showing What the Water Wore filmed on location in Solomon's Island, MD. Also on the program are Caveat 1.1 by Simon Coates, Geschenke by Visuel Sound : Blaise Merino & Irène Strubbe,Mumble Sign by Otto Tall, Jump/cut//Impossible continuous action by Bjørn Magnhildøen, and Phony Lounge by Pasha Radetzki. 
  
  
  
• Event/intervention. During the light intervention En un clin d'œil (23h 59m 60s) by Elisabeth S. Clark, 218 street lampposts in Bad Ems, Germany, will simultaneously be switched off as a split-second negation of light. This single second non-(street)light orchestration is ephemeral but will nevertheless signal and question the very measurement and distribution of time. At the leap second, Elisabeth S. Clark proposes that Bad Ems encounter a glimpse of non-time. 
• Music, sound, and audio related work embrace many different types of work. With Leap Second Split the sculptor Sissel Berntsen will in an action record the sound of a 13100 kg piece of black diabase stone splitting in the moment of the leap second. This action will take place in Johansen Monumenthuggeri, Skjeberg , Norway. 
  
  Frenchmebeerby Jurgen Trautwein AKA jtwine is ordering a draft beer in french. Jaa Nee - Yes No by Karl Heinz Jeron, a computer voice, a possible reference to Joseph Beuys, the bible, the digital, or all... . Daniel Kelley is for this 25th leap second presenting the musical score L25, A Free Oscillation of Earth During the Leap Second of 30 June 2012. In the informal notes, L25 for dummies he says about the work, "Using the Earth as a model of a couple of large bells, which can be excited by a Great earthquake, such as the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman, one of the bells represents the uniform ringing of the atomic time scale, the other bell beats slightly out of phase based on the prediction of change the Earth rotation rate between 29 and 30 June." Another poignant sound work for the festival, concerning global instability and precarity (whether political or physical), is The sound of money by A. Andreas (Andreas Maria Jacobs). This is the sound of 5 years Germany daily electricity prices from 2008 - 2013, squeezed to 1 second and compressed to the audible frequency range. 
  
  
  
• To continue pigeonholing and hair-counting the works, we've come to textual based ones. Chris Funkhouser's three work that are to be shown - Ascend Pole, Oceans Pled,Placed Scaled Planes Spaced Places - are digital poetry text animations, dealing with anagrams for/of the leap second (which itself can be considered an anagrammatic operation on time). Buffering... by Bjørn Magnhildøen is an instruction piece about the stopping of time and mind. Classic Outlines (part of the Fast Food Classics) by Yiorgos Chouliaras is a poem which can be read in less than 1 second (by an epically fast narrator/reader). Dedication Pieces by Stefan Riebel is a performative textual piece, dedicating to the leap second. The Four videos by Nico Vassilakis are visual poetry pieces exploring narratives between text, image, and motion. k!: cal 1752 by Alan Sondheim presents a textual command that outputs the singular calendar of 1752 when it went from Julian to Gregorian. 
  
  Halvard Johnson's word-poem deals with an aspect of spacetime. Andrew Topel's [untitled #1], [untitled #2] are instruction pieces for anybody to perform during the leap second. The sun is bright by Mathias Hauan Arbo is a 1 second video of rewriting a text. Also to be exhibited are Nick Mattan's text animation [untitled], John Connor is Peter Parker by Margo Wolf, Messi by Roger Cummiskey, One Second Omby Peter Grass, and Records by Albert Negredo. 
• In addition there's also a small text section of the festival that consists of: Dead moments in time - The micromanaging moments of a cave man - By Ana Buigues. L25 for dummies - Notes on the musical score L25 by Daniel Kelley - A correspondence between Daniel Kelley and Bjørn Magnhildøen. Leap second perspectives - Poem - By Brian Blaney. mafestOmarch (doc) - An art-social initiative - an art march rather than an art movement - by Pasha Radetzki. One should produce that thought which is nowhere supported - A commentary on a sentence from the platform sutra (teachings of Hui-neng) - By Bjørn Magnhildøen. VR Improvised - A improvised meditation on the virtual and the real - By Alan Sondheim.
