Kurt Ralske: "Zero Frames per Second"/Reception

Aug 27, 2008 all day
Location: MFA Computer Art Gallery

"Zero Frames per Second" is an exploration of Cinema and Time. The 150,000 frames of a film by Godard, or Kubrick, or Murnau are transmuted into a single image, perhaps 30 feet long. All the motion that occurred within a film is extracted and abstracted, presented next to a record of everything that was motionless within the film. A software program scans a database of movies, identifying moments of uncanny similarity across films of different genres, eras, and nationalities. Within this work, the cinematic experience is freed from duration, narrative, and signification. What is revealed is only the residue left by the workings of motion and rest.
