[NetBehaviour] THE LOOP AS NARRATIVE FORM

[marc]

FROM TEMPORAL MONTAGE TO SPATIAL MONTAGE
THE LOOP AS NARRATIVE FORM

E:vent is delighted to present a weekend of art, music, film, video and
VJing. SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP presents internationally renowned artists Chris
Allen (The Light Surgeons), DJRabbi (Mark America, Chad Mossholder, Rick
Silva, and Jutta Wolfert), Klaus Janek, and Alexander Perterhaensel (aka
tilia), with screenings of films by DJRabbi and Samuel Beckett.

A subtext of SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP looks at how narrative techniques such as
montage and loop are creating a web of influence, connections and exchanges
between media art, music, film and video. Criticizing the simple history of
influence from novel to film, Sergei Eisenstein, Film Form (1977),
considered the nineteenth-century novel a precursor for the cinematic
imagination. A generation later Lev Manovich, The Language of New Media
(2000), proposes that the loop be a new narrative form appropriate for the
computer age.

E:vent is delighted to welcome Maxa Zoller who will expand on these themes
at a special drinks reception on the opening night.
