People Get Ready/Ty Flowers– Physiques (US, 2014)
3 minutes 35 seconds| Segal Theatre (70 seats)
English www.tanmanfilms.com
Physiques is an experimental video collaboration between video artist Ty Flowers and performance/music collective People Get Ready. People Get Ready’s Steven Reker choreographed a dance to the song, written by the goup, at 2.5x the normal speed. The video was shot at 2.5x the normal frame rate and, when played back, the dance stays in sync with the music, while all other background elements are surreally out of place.

Ty Flowers is a multi-disciplinary media artist whose work primarily focuses on the moving screen. He grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and attended the University of Florida in Gainesville. He moved to New York in 2008. He has shot and edited Television programs for The History Channel, Science, Natgeo, Discovery, A&E, Bio, and the Travel Channel. His work has been exhibited at or been featured in Spin Magazine, Pitchfork, Stereogum, NPR, Noisey, and New York Live Arts. This is his first feature film.
People Get Ready is an American four-piece indie band based out of Brooklyn, New York. The band consists of Steven Reker, Luke Fassano (formerly of Yeasayer) James Rickman, and Jen Goma. They are known primarily for their live performances, which showcase a blend of rock show and performance art.
A labyrinthine performance, constructed on the basis of an extensive canon of derivative gestures, Levée des conflits is impossible to recreate in its totality: it is a snapshot of 25 simultaneous gestures that the eye cannot take in with a single glance. Rather than try to capture something of this perceptual experience, César Vayssié opted for an unclassifiable film, something between an abstract bird’s eye view, a documentary, and a genre film. Filmed on August 23, 2013 in Halde Haniel, Bottrop, Germany (with the kind permission of Ruhrtriennale International Festival of the Arts and of RAG Aktiengesellschaft), on the “Halde Haniel” mining site — an immense plateau shaped like a spiral — Vayssié’s film propels the dance into an indeterminate zone, somewhere
between science fiction and anthropology.
Produced by Musée de la danse/Sandra Neuveut, Martina Hochmuth, Amélie-AnneChapelain. Co-produced by Same Art Producers/Dimitri Chamblas and Amélie Couillaud.

Carlos Soto – close your eyes up tight; you will not sleep tonight (US, 2013)
17 minutes | Segal Theatre (70 seats) epicnothing.org
The piece utilizes a 1965 Mustang as a mobile mount for a camera that catalogues nighttime streets in the countryside surrounding Willem de Kooning’s Long Island studio. Accompanied by the blues-infused drawl of an electric guitar, the visuals transition slowly from shots of treetops passing overhead to lyrical images from within the car. Utilizing keen frame-rate manipulation and prolonged dissolves, the viewer is pulled in the direction of the car’s motion.
*Followed by a brief discussion with the artist.
