Mixing with different tools than your usual laptop means you have to work in a different way. The performer can be much closer to its audience thanks to using machines such as video game consoles, mobile phones, ultra portable multimedia players. For scope session, I will present 2 softwares I have developed: PS24VJ on Playstation 2, and Super Pikix on Caanoo console. www.pikilipita.com Feel free to use any material from www.pikilipita.com title artist speakers artist_bio description artist_url media_url A selection of works Reynold Reynolds Reynold Reynolds Reynold Reynolds was born in 1966 in Central, Alaska. During his undergraduate schooling at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Reynolds studied Physics receiving a Bachelor’s degree under the professorship of Carl Wieman (Physics Nobel Laureate 2001). Changing his focus to studio art he remained two more years in Boulder to study under experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. After moving to New York City Reynolds completed an M.F.A. at the School of Visual Arts. Influenced early on by philosophy and science, and working primarily with 16mm as an art medium, he has developed a film grammar based on transformation, consumption and decay. Detailed evolving symbols and allusive references create a powerful pictorial language based on Reynolds’ analytical point of view. His depiction of people often makes us aware of the small frames we use to understand reality. By subtly altering the regular conditions of life and watching their effects, he transfers the experimental methods of science to filmmaking, where he frames reality in his laboratory and changes one variable at a time to reveal an underlying causality. In 2003 Reynold Reynolds was awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and in 2004 invited to The American Academy in Berlin with a studio at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien for one year. In 2008 he received support from the German Kunstfonds to develop two projects in Berlin. He showed his films at Sundance Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Edinburgh Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival. Reynolds has received numerous awards for his film work, including the Festival Award for “Secret Life” at the European Media Art Festival Osnabrueck 2008, the ‘09 Distinction Award for “Six Apartments” at Transmediale Berlin and Mention spéciale du jury, “Last Day of the Republic” at Videoformes, 2011 Reynold will show works made in his Berlin studio and some older works from his collaborations in New York with Patrick Jolley who recently passed away unexpectedly.
