Extract follows fromThe Cinematic Experience

On Feb 13th, showing of Overstimulation http://www.kurcewicz.co.uk/project/overstimulation/


17/30

We do not really need a new technology.We have enough of it, even too much of it, and only a few artists artist aredeploying it critically. In VJ-ing and much

live, digital cinema I see just softwareand rarely communication. I am notimpressed with software, in the sameway that I am not simply impressed withmediums of cds, mini discs or even vinylrecords.


18/30

Digital technology opens up a whole new archive of

material for artists but it is a leveller of images.Whereas we might all have many differencesculturally, and many different cultural reference points,we do have one thing in common: our nervoussystem. To get into a situation where we arequestioning our perception is in fact a greatcommonality, one that is achieved in manyexperimental films. To return our view to the real worldis a breakthrough for us at this moment in time. To re-

discover the act of looking and a space for looking atsomething is a crucial and political act to undertake for artists.
