Clip of the Week
"Parallel" (2009) by Huckleberry Lain

Watch a clip from "Parallel" by Huckleberry Lain, "a journey of sound and image that will dazzle your senses. Raining colors pill out of the screen and electronic dreamy sounds fill the entire realm of perception."

Artist of the Week
Pat O'Neill

"Pat O’Neill has been deeply involved in Los Angeles culture since the late 1960’s. A founding father of the city’s avant-garde film scene, an influential professor at CalArts and an optical effects pioneer, he is best known for his short works from the early 1960’s onwards which are highly graphic, layered and reflexive assemblages based on a mastery of optical printing techniques.

In O’Neill’s films boundaries fade, narrative collapses and layers of imagery draw the viewer simultaneously towards and away from linear meaning. O’Neill has combined found footage with experimental montage and compositing techniques to create a graphic language that deals with how different, often disparate elements assembled together in the frame relate to one another. His innovative optical techniques anticipated our digital landscape well before its time."
