Preserving Cultural Traditions in a Period of Instability (2004)
Directed by Thomas Draschan, Sebastian Brameshuber
Overview
In a voiceover Stan Brakhage articulates his resentments about the use of computers for art production and in general. This comment is contrasted by video imagery turning more and more abstract until it bursts into a sea of square pixels. The video is an ironic illustration of Brakhage’s views as these “defunct” images reveal a kind of beauty of their own.
