/as a point of departure we have assumed that there was once a close 
relationship between forms that now exist rather separately, namely the 
realms of visual art, experimental film, literature, poetry, music – and 
very much the development of technology, too. what is it supposed to 
mean that 16mm projectors now occupy their luxurious final performance 
sites at art societies and galleries, while iphone youtube (without open 
source codecs, to be sure) is the current way to watch a hollis frampton 
interview.

the other way around, isn’t the gentle entry of the genre of 
"experimental film" into the realm of "media art" of the 1980s and 1990s 
itself a transformation analog to general social and medial development 
brought about by the development of individualization and consumer 
society? in poor man's expression we have sought, through an advanced 
setting
("affirmative" neon light surfaces, and the exhibition's paradoxical 
bipartite spatial principle) to address the surrounding corporate 
architecture of the sony center as well as the film archive deep 
underground and the dark space of the avant-garde cinema./
