Handmade

Lauren Cook

In stark contrast to video, "Hand Made" focuses on the grain of the celluloid and the organic nature of emulsion. It was created by contact printing images with a flashlight in a darkroom without the use of a camera, labs, digital editing or any type of sound equipment.

Dot Matrix

Lauren Cook

Dot Matrix is a sound and image composition of two 16mm film tracks, made by hand in a darkroom, without digital intervention. The projectors become instruments that read the images as waveforms. Colorful and fun circles are menacing when played back as sound.

PXXXL

Lauren Cook

Using century old technology, PXXXL creates digital glitch from analog process. It was animated directly on the celluloid without a camera, in a darkroom, using lights, objects, and handmade lenses. There is no digital manipulation involved-- just light, celluloid, and processing.
