Video Theorie Remix

Catherine Dellbrügge, Ralph de Moll

Akiko Hada

The a remix of the second in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece continues the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, text from the original video exploring the intersections and conflicts between electronic media and the creation/reception of new media art is dissected into individual words that are then pair with split-second images and sound clips. Further, the original soundtrack has been removed and replaced with a more conventional, drum-and-base like soundtrack; the sequence of words-and-images has been sped up; and a Japanese speaker now presents a vocal accompaniment to the text.

Video Theorie 4

Catherine Dellbrügge, Ralph de Moll

The fourth in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece continues the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, text exploring the intersections and conflicts between electronic media and the creation/reception of new media art is dissected into individual words that are then pair with split-second images and sound clips, typed across the montage until it fills the screen.

Video Theorie 3

Philipp von Doering

The third in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece continues the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, the duo record a performance by a singer dealing in the profound social and cultural effects that television has had on modern human life. Images of the musician - over-saturated and recorded at a lower frame rate but duped at normal speed - are only apparent when he is singing. Otherwise, the screen is black, with only the sound of his guitar.

Frank Hoeller

The first in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece begins the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, abstracted hands are superimposed over a constantly spinning black-and-white, digitally produced background, signing the "text" of the piece while a distorted voice accompanies it.
