'CTRL ALT ESCape from Rotterdam' at IFFR in January

(a trailer version of) CTRL ALT ESCape from Rotterdam finally hits the big screen at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011!

Mr. Messy and Barbie: Digital and Analogue reconciled

A small crew offered themselves willingly to the capricious disposal of WORM (Institute for Avantgarde Recreation), Rotterdam for many months of fabulously chaotic and depraved production and post-production on their debut feature film. Headed by scandalous Canadian Director Demetri Estdelacropolis aka Mr. Messy and Esther, aka Barbie, of WORM's Filmverkplaatz, the film was shot on a combination of digital, 16mm and Super8.

Other dedicated crew members included: Tessa (Camera/ editing), Matt (sound), Joan (Super 8 camera/ sets), Fiona (Super 8 camera), Lichun (Super 8 camera), Floris (SFX), Hinko (Photos/ all possible), Genja (Directing/Lights), Daan (Camera/ Lights), Sera (Camera), Myung (camera), Judith (Camera/ Animation), Kristof (Camera), Coen (Camera) and myself (SFX/ Camera).(i knooow i have forgotten a lot of people here-please let me know!)..these were at least the main roles, but all of us pretty much did a bit of everything at various stages..as part of the experimental nature of the production, some of the scenes were Directed by various members of the crew (mine was the Cinema scene with Genja).Actors who were deeply intertwined with the production and/or memorably charming include Dennis, Amy, Ania, Iris, Joop, Hinko, Peter, Henri, Florian and Arjan, plus many more!

..Fake blood laboriously/ lovingly/ begrudgingly made by me (with help at various times from Tessa, Floris and Joan of the crew)..

'The North' installation, 2006

'The North' Installation, 2006 from Jade Boyd on Vimeo.

The North (installation)
Jade Boyd, The North video installation: video projection (7:42), amplifier, 2x speakers, dead branches. Dimensions variable. ‘Podium’ at Galleri Badet, Kulturhuset, Hausmania, Oslo, Norway, 2006.

'The North', originally an installation for my graduation exhibition at Sydney College of the Arts (2005), was the beginning of a trajectory of work and research based around the sublime and the supernatural. In this installation I projected a video of fragments of field recordings in the Norwegian landscape combined with footage from earlier works.
The projection fell partly onto the tips of the twisted branches that lay on the floor, repeating the elements of nature within the video. The darkly layered soundtrack was heavy with bass, holding reference to the Nøkken of Norse folklore with the imagined cries in the woods, and a voice beckoning in old Norwegian to `cross over´ (the water). The video moved in stilted procession, recalling Muybridge´s sequential photographic studies of locomotion, and creating a dislocated world, enclosed within the dark confines of the room.

Travels in Sine

'Travels in Sine' from Jade Boyd on Vimeo.

Jade Boyd (video) and Dion Woestenburg (sound), Travels in Sine. Live Cinema/ Sound Performance; DVD, TV screen, computer monitor, digital video camera, video mixing (cpu), video projector. Analogue sound (Casio/ Yamaha keyboards, effects pedals, mixer) by Dion Woestenburg. Dimensions variable (approx. duration 98 minutes). Poortgebouw, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Sunday 21st February 2010.

Travels in Sine was an improvised live manipulation of Dario Argento’s master classic of horror, Suspiria (1977), which features an equally impressive score by the progressive rock band Goblin. The film was shown from beginning to end with live audio/visual manipulation throughout. At times the original footage and sound were distinguishable, while at others, the sound and image were transformed and distorted into a state of abstraction.

The result was a homage to a horror classic: Suspiria, one generation removed.
