What is the video artists fascination with the silent film treatment? So many of us try to latch on to this nostalgia of a period we did not experience. Is it an emulation of the surrealists movement? Is it the timelessness trapped in a very defined epic? I think its that because we did not experience, we seek to imagine how it could have been. And the grit of film stock and low-fi reminds us of discovery and invention. Innovation springing from crude technologies. Imagination intersecting industry's intermittent illusions of inspiration and ingenuity. phwew...ill-iteration.
Not even necessary.
