    Excerpt from Margarida Paiva’s 11 minute Untitled Stories,

    a video from 2007 about everyday stories, told through a broken
    female monologue about memories.
    Expertly layered and totally gorgeous.

  • Ruth Catlow -Time is speeding up
    Time is speeding up (2016, 11MB, 1:00 min) This is a beautiful piece, a distillation down to a minute of a three month installation by Ruth Catlow, artist and co-director of the marvellous Furtherfield. She explains its premise and construction better than I can, so I’ll hand over to her: This networked video performance and [...]

  • High Five Low Five/Tim and Puma Mimi


    Tim and Puma Mimi: High Five Low Five (2012, 283MB, 4:22 min)

    Slightly self-consciously kooky but, it must be said, splendidly

    entertaining bit of both music and moving image, from -ahem –
    Tim and Puma Mimi.
    Curiously we were lobbied for this by a publicist type fellow.
    We’re quite flattered here at DVblog that we’re thought of as having
    any clout.
    I should say we turned down the first couple of things he suggested
    and he obviously then did his homework because this one we like, a lot.

    Astral Man an Illuminated Poem (1959, 22MB, 2:27 min.)

    A true innovator. Creator of countless films displaying complete artistic control.

    What vision Stan VanDerBeek, what vision.

  • 3 from Brian Beletic


    Basement Jaxx – Red Alert (1999, 10.5MB, 3:42)


    Fatboy Slim – Don’t Let The Man Get You Down (2003, 9MB, 3:08)


    Lady Sovereign – Love Me or Hate Me (2006, 12.2MB, 2:43)

    Three videos from Brian Beletic.

    His work spans the last decade,
    these posted in chronological order.
    Basement Jaxx’s video is conceptual: what if
    music was illegal? Love the idea and execution.
    The track itself takes me back to my younger,
    raving days.
    Fatboy Slim and Lady Sovereign also should be
    proud of their Beletic vids. Both garner at least
    a few chuckles and some definite appreciation for
    the editing.

  • Jim Punk & Antonio Mendoza – Dysleksic


    dudeboat (2012, 2 MB, 11 secs)


    misteriosoxxx (2012, 4 MB, 41 secs)

    Slightly traducing the spirit of the project where

    the two artists mix, hack and otherwise mutate
    and abut up to 9 videos simutaneously in the same web page
    as a (very welcome) online adjunct to the current Drawing Surrealism
    show at LACMA, we’re featuring a couple of the component parts.
    (Because we love both these artists and we want to publicise
    everything they do, which is never, ever, dull.)
    To view it properly go (and keep on going back) to the
    project page and to learn more go here.

  • Exercise by Lucia Nimcova


    Lucia Nimcova – Exercise (2007, 40.5MB, 6:03)

    Outrageously funny video from 2007 by Slovakian artist

    Lucia Nimcova.
    I’m pretty sure not being able to understand
    the language makes this that much more
    endearing and amusing.

  • John Cage – 4:33


    John Cage – 4:33 (2004, 47MB, 9:23 min)

    Wonderful video of the BBC Symphony Orchestra under

    Lawrence Foster giving a performance of John Cage’s
    notorious/ provocative/seminal/epoch-making 4:33.
