SCRUB SOLO 1: SOLONELINESS
Antonin De BemelsScrub Solo 1: ’Soloneliness’ is the first film experiment between Antonin De Bemels and choreographer Bud Blumenthal. A dancer facing a mirror, in a fixed frame, tries to catch his own reflection, the body incessantly turning round on itself. At times there is no more than an abstraction of white light, while at others his hand seems to pass through the mirror...
END
Edith DekyndtAcousticians from the Polytechnic Faculty of Mons measured the precise resonant frequency of crystal glasses. They were reproduced by a frequency generator and played through a loudspeaker in the presence of each of the glasses.

THE NIGHT BEFORE
Charley CaseThis video is inspired by haptonomy, an affective, physical form of prenatal communication with the foetus. When a hand is placed on an expectant mother’s belly, her unborn baby responds by moving close to it and, if the hand moves, by following its position. In the video this interaction is simulated by the projection of a film on a pregnant belly...
OP-ART
Jef CornelisAn exhibition of a work by the Italian artist Julio Le Parc gives cause to a short report on ‘Op-art’ or Optical Art. This movement arose from geometrical abstract art and it is often bracketed together with Kinetic Art.
