"The Transposition Hypothesis splits all derivation, lexical and inflectional alike, into three processes: lexical (L-) derivation, inflectional (I-) derivation, and morphological Voodle. Derivation involves operations on abstract lexical and inflectional category functions such as [+Plural, -Singular], [+Past, -Present], [+1st], and the like. Voodling is the purely visual realisation of the morphological categories of any Voodle base lexeme which has undergone such derivation. Its function is to distinguish Voodle stems which have undergone derivation from those which have not."

Transposing selected voodles from the webscreen to an exclusive out-door screening, Sam Renseiw joined the Lomeg_Rom's and the Lumiere founders for a cool event at "Kuba" in Oslo.

When hummingbirds come back

"These are the days when Birds come back/A very few/ a Bird or two/To take a backward look//These are the days when skies resume/The old, old sophistries of June /A blue and gold mistake// Oh fraud that cannot cheat the Bee / Almost thy plausibility/ Induces my belief// Till ranks of seeds their witness bear /And softly thro' the altered air/Hurries a timid leaf//Oh Sacrament of summer days/Oh Last Communion in the Haze/Permit a child to join//Thy sacred emblems to partake/They consecrated bread to take/And thine immortal wine!//"

Indulging in a moment of nostalgia over a pixelfest not attended, Sam Renseiw captured footage of another, quiet fest-closing near Dragør, on late Sunday afternoon, musing about the screenings of some videos near the Pacific; And: Sam would have loved to walk the line too.

Pixelodeonfest promo

The nickelodeon boom in Manhattan was an extraordinary phenomenon. At the close of 1905 movies were still a relatively marginal amusement, filling brief slots at the end of vaudeville shows or running on Sundays in melodrama theatres that aimed to evade New York's blue law against live performance. Two years later, "nickelodeons" had revolutionised urban recreation and altered the commercial landscape of Manhattan.

Going from Web 2.0 virtual to Hollywood, Sam Renseiw is honoured to have some of patalab's small video pieces screened at the upcoming inaugural Pixelodeon at the American Film Institute.
