The document discusses various topics related to digital music video and computer animation such as visual music, expanded cinema, kinetic animation, and the demoscene. It provides examples of early computer animators like Lillian Schwartz and examples of digital videos made for music. It also lists some kinetic animations that could be shown and discusses using large-scale projection at Exeter Cathedral. Issues around rights and distribution of video are mentioned as well as possibilities for machinima and demoscene on mobile and cloud platforms.

16. So "New Canvas" still useful term. to describe
what was shown previously during Animated
Exeter
Greg Kurcewicz website has text and video-

Extract follows from
The Cinematic Experience
On Feb 13th, showing of Overstimulation

17. We do not really need a new technology.
We have enough of it, even too much of
it, and only a few artists artist are
deploying it critically. In VJ-ing and much
“live, digital” cinema I see just software
and rarely communication. I am not
impressed with software, in the same
way that I am not simply impressed with
mediums of cds, mini discs or even vinyl
records.

18. Digital technology opens up a whole new archive of
material for artists but it is a leveller of images.
Whereas we might all have many differences
culturally, and many different cultural reference points,
we do have one thing in common: our nervous
system. To get into a situation where we are
questioning our perception is in fact a great
commonality, one that is achieved in many
experimental films. To return our view to the real world
is a breakthrough for us at this moment in time. To re-
discover the act of looking and a space for looking at
something is a crucial and political act to undertake for
artists.

19. demoscene
Sundown demoparty closed in 2010 but

21. the demoscene's artistic and technical
antecedents can be traced back as far as the
1930s if not further.Although their work may not
have directly exerted an influence on the
demoscene from the beginning, the work of
animators like Oskar Fischinger,Mary Ellen
Bute, and John Whitney laid the foundation for
the aesthetic sensibility expressed in many
demos.
