Re: New Work by Jess Loseby http://www.viewsfromthegroundfloor.com


What an engrossing piece of work.
Eclectic in the best possible sense - so many styles
and approaches hoovered up then "losebyfied", becoming
completely your own.
Plus it has heart and it isn't afraid to deal with
the small, the human, the vulnerable and the quotidian
and done with such panache to boot.
I loved Clive's music too, more fragile and somehow
provisional than what I've heard of his before, but
because of that fragility much more an integral part
of the piece because the visuals and the music lean on
and into each other.
Great stuff.

+++New Work by Jess Loseby+++
[views from the ground floor....]
http://www.viewsfromthegroundfloor.com

++++[Views from the ground floor] views [view, see,
perceive] point of view, physical height, opinion,
point of view, [opportunity for] to see, as seen from
a particular place, distinctiveness of vision, under
observation from a place or [stand]point [in view] to
consider or judge or foreseen [ground] lower, floor
level, domestic or single-story [story] trivial lower
base.++++

+++++++++

++++#145;Views from the ground floor#133;#146; is a
networked installation, a view of a domestic
landscape, which can seem in one scene, utopian and in
another transformed into a constricted area full of
suppressed fears and desires. Loseby draws unexpected
and compelling comparisons between female domesticity
and cyber-culture; where low and high technology live
side-by-side in an uneasy partnership of repetition,
interaction and consequences. Her positioning as a
wheelchair-user means these visions are always viewed
from the ground floor#133;++++

+++++++++
To view the work you will need;
Flash 6 plug-in (available from macromedia.com)
Soundcard & Speakers
I.E 5+

Broadband or ISDN connection recommended.

Re: New web.art works


Those are very enjoyable pieces Regina.
I particularly like 'offerings'. There's a really
fantastic sense of rhythmic rightness about the
"dance" section although I very much like both of
them.
I also like the terseness of all the pieces -the way
that you've made keeping down the file size into a
positive virtue.
Do you know the work of the Catalan artist Joan
Brossa?
He's a bit of an obsession of mine - in some ways I
think his work (none of it for new media- he died at
an advanced age a few years back) prefigures some of
the more successful work that we see on the net & I
say that without suggesting that your work feels in
any way derivative or even similar -just that it
shares some of Brossa's virtues of wit, brevity and
strange beauty.

Re: Crying


Lewis
It's a shame that the seam you're mining here is one
of such clear and immediate personal grief, but it is
leading to some quite remarkable and beautiful work.
