vog (a BETA videoblog)

A rhizome movie that uses an external XML file to load the addresses for the two video child movies that are loaded here. This can be done as easily just by including the address of the movies inside the code of the QuickTime movie but I made the rhizome templates just to let others be able to play around with this stuff. In this way simply hand editing the XML file lets others be able to also make diptychs that play two different videos alongside each other.

From the original posting:

We went to ACCA today to see Water Hole. The mobile in the later gallery was mesmerising in a Schwitters come Merz sort of way. The work is by two Swiss artists, Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger. This is some of the video that I shot on my phone, one is the mobile (where you lay on a bench under it, gazing up). The other a series of shots of the shadows that the mobile made.
