10th entry in the popular "Honto ni Atta. Noroi no Video" series.

DISSONANCE is composed of documentary material of diverse kinds, juxtaposed on an HD wide-screen, in a challenging formal manner. The opening sequence is composed of 3 screens, each with a single shot on it, lasting 50 minutes; the interaction between the 3 images is force which compels interest. Following this sequence are a number of other much quicker shots, often enigmatic. The conclusion is abrupt. I have no idea what it means, only that it poetically probes the meaning of life, and offers no conclusions. It is meant, on many levels, to disturb the viewer.

"Kobresia: What Is" is a long-form experimental film or visual tone poem. This video is one element generated for Phil Garrett's performance art event/installation as part of the exhibition "Stage/Studio: Space Transformed" at the The Ohio State University's Urban Arts Space. In the installation, the film plays as both a part of a complex Isadora projection, and as the source video being fed through a network of technologies: from an iPod Touch, fed through a video splitter to vintage video equipment including a 1970 Zenith B&W TV, a Sony Trinitron field monitor, an oscilloscope, waveform monitor, and vectroscope.
