“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of....yet, the camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.”

After gathering some footage from his exosomatic memory, Sam Renseiw concocted a moving cognitive map, composed as a diptych; View the unfolding of profane moves in a sacred crimson path followed by a complementary green spatial botanical traverse by clicking here or on the links above.

On footage and leg

" I stepped to the side to make way, slipped on the ice, rolled on my ankle, and went splat, back first, onto the footpath. I was embarrassed and confused and tried to get up and stop the fuss immediately. Then I realized something was wrong. Something was wrong with my left leg. Something indeed had given. It was my leg. I had broken it. But at this stage I didn't know. One hour later they told me I had a broken leg and I was going to be in a cast for six weeks. I remember thinking, "Oh no, that doesn't fit. I haven't got time to do that. I was on my way to Paris..”

Some dark Voodoo at work on Sam Renseiw, out of Vaterpas balance. Yet the event might result in more video postings the next weeks…

Meaningful, to talk about noise

" Some would say that it is no longer meaningful to talk about noise as something special, since we have finally reached a state in which all sounds are equal. That may be so for certain avant-garde artists and advanced listeners, but I will assert that we still hear a difference between noise and more traditional musical sounds. Noises are the sounds, which used to be denounced as non-musical. To include noise in video thus still has an effect and bears a certain aesthetic power. That power is the topic of this short film. There is a constant discrepancy between the essentially indescribable object and the attempt to verbalize and understand it. It is my hope that the following video is nevertheless able to sketch out an approach to understanding the important part noise plays in the music of today’s vlogs."
