Guy Sherwin's Man with Mirror



In Man with Mirror I interact with a film of myself that I made 30 years ago. In the film I'm holding a mirror painted white on the reverse side, and my movements with the mirror are echoed by my movements with an actual mirror in front of the audience. To get the feeling of it I had it recorded on video. I can see that it's full of strange illusions and time shocks. There's a version of it on Youtube. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXD7UMlAixg)
1976

AUTOSCOPE - Pre-Cinema Apparatus, 2005
by Joe Kelly
The Autoscope is an early prefilm media device/installation (it even predates the zoetrope). It is an updated version of the phenakistoscope which was invented by Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau in 1832. Traditionally these devices are handheld toys that have about 8 frames. The Autoscope was built with 72 frames. To accommodate the fact it had to be shown in a Calgary +15 window, I motorized the devices and put a foot pedal on the outside for the viewer to operate. This piece was made for “Tunnel Vision”, a performative component of the 2005 Calgary Animated Object Society Festival
