Introducing new friend, Micaëla Henich

 Just the other day I responded to a notice from Vimeo that someone liked my short video "Lascaux-Weber".

So I looked at her Vimeo page to see what she has presented.


I always respond to such notices but very often fail to receive an answer from the people who have liked one of my short pieces.

Micaëla Henich did respond and we discussed presenting some of her work on this blog.

"Yes, do as you feel of course. I like the way you present the works. Just want to add that I am not a professional of videos. I am a painter in fact… Maybe you would like to see my site:

Back to Micaëla's posts on Vimeo. 

I've selected three of Micaëla's video pieces to share with our friends... only these three, although there are many more:

Petit trafic de nuit around the village pond from micaela henich on Vimeo.

A very light summer day from micaela henich on Vimeo.

Paris-vertigo from micaela henich on Vimeo.

As you can see from what Micaëla wrote to me, she does not consider herself a pro video maker but that doesn't bother me at all. 

What I like is the way she has taken to the medium of moving images in an exploratory observational manner, not loading each item with any expectations, and not feeling as if these observations need to be connected with any others. They are vignettes, complete  within themselves. That appeals to me very much.

Also that these pieces express the joy of using the new technology which are now available to all, just for her own purposes... maybe towards something which will one day be converted into another form, such as a painting or another video. 




I hope Micaëla might add to this post.

    Micaëla thank you. And Peter. My kind of observational video (and I'm not a painter).

    Discovered this morning… What a surprise Peter ! Thank you so much for your page about my work. Very touched and proud to see it projected here into your passionating blog !
    Like in a mirror. With it’s own life. Makes me look at it differently, as if it’s no more belonging to me.

Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.

Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe                                                                                                      February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was.  Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

Maria Korporal: An Introduction to Her Work

Image
Darko has recently introduced me to multimedia artist  Maria Korporal. Of Dutch origin, Maria   lived   in Italy  for many years but she has lived and worked in Berlin  since 2014 . Her artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations. Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work which together with the directness of the images and the sounds leads to greater participation of the viewer. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach. A good example is her project Korporal Zoo , a series of video works made between 2010 and 2018, which observe the animal and human world from several perspectives: cultural, social, environmental.  Over the last two years Maria experienced the...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
