Expanded Abstraction explores abstract animated moving images, many here reinterpreted for three screens. Scott Draves’ “Generation 244” genetic algorithms and Robert Seidel’s “vellum” have been presented as site-specific multiple screen installations in New York and Seoul. Baerbel Neubauer’s playful animated “Water Ambiences” is a new work created for the LACMA screens, as is Christina McPhee’s nine-screen collage “Bird of Paradise.” Maura McDonnell’s “silk chroma” was originally performed as a visual music installation in Dublin. Charles Dockum’s 1969 “Mobilcolor Projector” film, originally a 16mm film document of his color/light organ performance in three movements, was preserved by CVM, transferred to HD, and reformatted to 3 screens for this LACMA program.
Center for Visual Music is a Los Angeles-based archive dedicated to visual music, abstract cinema and experimental animation. CVM's film and digital programs can be seen in museums and cultural centers worldwide, and their archives house the world’s largest collection of visual music resources.
