The artist between images and across media : James Clayden in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.2 p.179-189
Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DIGITAL CINEMA ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; CLAYDEN, JAMES Summary: There has been no shortage of proposals in recent years about what might constitute the ‘digital aesthetics’ of the audio-visual media. Most often these proposals of new aesthetic models are conceived in terms of a sharp break with conventional narrative form — where convention is yoked to Hollywood on the one hand, and a certain tradition of European art cinema on the other. However, a largely unexplored connection is the very fertile link between digital work and the traditions of experimental cinema. The prolific film-maker-painter — dramaturg, James Clayden, active since the early 1970s, is an especially important figure in the crossover from film to digital in Australia. With small amounts of government subsidy and finance raised from other sources, he has made several experimental features and a myriad of shorts in recent years. These have received more attention and acclaim at overseas film festivals than in Australia, where the experimental exhibition scene has largely atrophied. Intriguingly, Clayden has gone back to celluloid works (on Super 8 or 16mm) and re-fashioned them in a radical way for several digital projects; he has also been preparing a more conventional narrative art-cinema project. This article will use these rich intersections of forms, gauges and modes in Clayden's recent career as a way of approaching a new theorization of digital aesthetics in Australian cinema. -- AbstractNotes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand

AUSTRALIA ; AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR THE MOVING IMAGE (ACMI) ; AESTHETICS ; TECHNOLOGY AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS Summary: Interzone is specifically interested in arts practices in which the computer is the predominant medium, integrating and synthesising a range of diverse media. Its chronology is narrow and deals with works produced from the early 1990s to the present. Media arts have come to be regarded as the signature form of this period, the art of its time. But the discussion of media art is not exclusively an issue to do with emerging technologies and how artists use them. It also concerns the ways in which artists explore the social and cultural implications of the very technologies they are working with. The intervention of the computer has given rise to complex new forms of knowledge, disturbing new ways of thinking abut what it means to be alive in the age of advanced technology.

Lessons of noise and silence : avant-garde cinema and experimental music in Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.2 p.223-234
Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: ArticleSubject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; SOUND ; MUSIC IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS. AUSTRALIA Summary: This article is an historical survey of Australian experimental cinema from the 1960s to the present day organized around the use of music and sound. Six aesthetic categories are distinguished: film as backdrop to live music; live music as backdrop to film; pre-recorded music as a ‘bed’ for images; images as a bed for pre-recorded music; disjunction between image and sound; image–sound fusion. The debate over the effects of musical rhythm in cinema is discussed.--ABSTRACT
