2 Humans, 1 Paper (2013, 10MB, 3:38 min) I first stumbled across Osvaldo Cibils and his marvellously eclectic and well..simply marvellous work on Flickr but he seems to have all sorts of things going. So simple but so, so telling. Kind of Buster Keaton meets Bruce Nauman meets something hard to (...)

Simply British (2013, 77MB, 4:03 min) Hi Lucy I think it's really good. Who did the Hard Day's Night remix? I really like the way it is clearly a powerful comment on lots of things to do with the contrast between Britishness & flag waving and national hubris &c. and the actual situation (...)

I Wasn't always Dressed Like This [Trailer] (2013, 120MB, 1:42 min) If the substantive piece (which I gather is about 33 minutes in length) is anything like as good as this trailer promises it will be stunning. This has all the hallmarks of the previous piece by Betty Martins – When the Souls (...)

Blindness (1971/1991/2011/2012, 37MB, 3:18 min) I'm a huge fan of Curt Cloninger's work, especially his virtuosic but often profoundly moving ( and how often do you hear that word in connection with new media*?) Playdamage sequence. Here he simply mashes up a section of a 1971 Acconci video (...)

Dream Home (2012, 61MB, 1:00 min) Don't Know Y (2010, 116MB, 2:23 min) I first encountered Nikki Rolls' work through Kerry Baldry's splendid One Minutes series.( In fact we featured another piece by her in our very first post about that series) As with so many of the artists included in that (...)
