In 2015, in one of the last interviews of his life, he talked to Studio International about his long career. Harold Cohen was born in London in 1928, but moved to the US in 1968 and died there in April last year. In this conversation, one of his last filmed interviews, made in May 2015 in his home studio in Encinitas, California, he recounted his career since its beginning in London. In the late 1960s, he already had an established career as a painter. In 1965, the Whitechapel Gallery held a retrospective of his oeuvre, and in 1966 he was invited to represent the UK at the Venice Biennale, which further consolidated his position in the art world. Two years later, however, when participating in an academic project in the United States, he was introduced to the language of computer programming and the theory of artificial intelligence, which led to a radical change in his life and art. Thereafter, Cohen turned his attention to the use of computer programming to create art. His biggest ambition was to try to reproduce human cognition in a machine and discover what the outcome would be. He was the first artist to experiment with artificial intelligence to relate its theories to art practice. The understanding of computational language as something also belonging to the artistic universe occurred through the efforts of pioneers such as him.Item Metadata only Image & Sound Workshop 2018 / Live performance in Athens / Video and Audiovisual Book(Void (https://void.photo/), 2018-06-17) Blow, MikeA week-long workshop with 13 photographers and 4 sound artists, working with photographers Michael Ackerman and Stephane Charpentier and sound artist Alyssa Moxley, creating an audiovisual portrait of Athens and exploring audiovisual associations and dislocations.

We participate in debates but not all debates are heard. In twenty-first century political communication has become simple, but, to make it even more complex. The questions is what makes political communication complex and why? Certainly, social media has played a colossal role in heightening this complexity. Political activism is not only a parade of mass on the streets anymore. Political activism today, is also about a parade of texts, images, videos and live conversations that takes place on a virtual platform, as you can see on the slides.Item Embargo Power to the People: Fifty Years of British Music Video, 1966-2016(Thunderbird Releasing, 2018-03-05) Caston, Emily; Smith, JustinThis collection of 200 of the most influential music videos in Britain 1966 to 2016 is the result of a three-year University research project run in partnership with the British Film Institute and the British Library. The collection has been put together by a team of researchers in collaboration with a panel of over one hundred directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, choreographers, colourists and video commissioners from the business. Each video has been selected because it represents a landmark in music video history - a new genre, film technique, post-production method, distribution channel, or other landmark. Along with the 6 discs comes a booklet explaining the history of British music videos since 1966 and rare production credits: using archives, callsheets, interviews and trade press listings the researchers have identified credits for directors, producers, executive producers, directors of photography, editors, colourists, production companies and choreographers as well as information about the source material on which the video was shot where available. In order to protect the artistic integrity of each, the videos are presented in their original native aspect aspect ratio. The videos for Manfred Mann’s ‘Mighty Quinn’ and Flowered Up’s ‘Weekender’ have been digitally re-mastered for this collection from the original film prints dating back to 1967 and 1992.Item Open Access Scattered(Motionhouse Dance Theatre, 2009-10) Smith, Sophy; Dickinson, TimScattered has been touring since October 2009 and has taken audiences by storm, with sell out shows and standing ovations in venues all around the world.

Given that the movement of the Khyaal vocalist is itself an physical interpretation of the music, it seems that this movement could act as a bridge between the domain of music and the domain of visuals. This animation is an early-stage experiment in using motion-tracking of an Indian classical vocalist's gestures to control abstract animated visuals. It is based on an audio and motion-tracking recording of Khayal vocalist Tofail Ahmed.Item Metadata only Thank you Superheroes digital gratitude(2020) Lahiri, IndraniAmidst all the lockdown dark clouds, these colourful pictures gave us a reason to celebrate.
