massive thank you’s! @arthouseathome @dylmhowe @elarm_music @hellyeahhunter @sappony_guy @amekimeki @sound.isa @shawnantoineii, xiaolu, mateo

design inspired by two frames in sitrep and a no parking sign I saw in the neighborhood. a simple [altered] helvetica neue ’S’ printed on to 12x18 cardstock matte paper. and scanned back in such a way that mimics screen texture and a frame ripple. huge thanks to my main @moe.rrx for the assist with the Ricoh. q+a to follow at ICA for the Londoners. too excited by @bluhre

Just announced! 📹♟️ Andrew Bujalski’s COMPUTER CHESS (2013) in 35mm + Blair Barnes’ SITREP (2026)

Followed by a conversation with filmmakers Andrew Bujalski and Blair Barnes

Friday, July 24
@braindeadstudiosfairfax

doors: 6:45pm
film: 7:15pm

We are excited to have filmmaker Andrew Bujalski and Chicago-based artist Blair Barnes in conversation following a short-and-feature pairing of SITREP and COMPUTER CHESS, the latter screening from a 35mm archival print from @chicagofilmsociety. Both films were shot on the Sony AVC 3260, an analog tube video camera developed in the early 1970s which has a strangely beautiful black-and-white aesthetic, its shallow focus occasionally disrupted by blooms and smears of errant light. The filmmakers will discuss their distinctive approaches and inspirations behind using this idiosyncratic camera following the screening.

directed by Andrew Bujalski
2013, U.S., 92m, 35mm

queuing up these words on Sunday, May 3rd, 10:45am, to dovetail Computer Chess @anthologyfilmarchives. frankly, Computer Chess is one of my all-time favorites. James is one of my all-time favorite people. sitrep is an all-time favorite project. a lot of all-time business going around with this one. omnidirectional appreciations to the people who made these weird, tube camera works possible.

q+a will conclude with Andrew and I. many thanks @prismaticground by @bluhre
