59th minute: John Greyson
'14.3 SECONDS'
Year Zero One is pleased to present TRANSMEDIA :29:59,
a year long exhibition on the pedestrian level video
billboard at Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto.
Launched August 1st 2005, TRANSMEDIA :29:59 features
one minute video works 24/7 every half hour on the 29th
and 59th minutes.
Featured for the month of July is Collin Zipp's 'Niverville,
MB 08.04' and John Greyson's
''14.3 SECONDS'.
Collin Zipp's Niverville,
MB 08.04 explores the presence of technology within
our environments. The creation process begins by subjecting
the video's digital information to physical defacement
by using various methods. The final product is then
captured and edited to create an altered digital environment.
John
Greyson 14.3
SECONDS: During the 2003 war, U.S. planes bombed
the Iraqi Film Archive. 14.3 seconds of celluloid were
salvaged from the wreckage. If you slow them down by
23.8%, they last a minute.
BIOS
Collin Zipp
is a multidisciplinary video/digital artist who obtained
his BFA with Honours from the University of Manitoba's
School of Art. His video work uses various experimental
techniques to explore the beauty within imperfection,
human perception and memory. The raw video footage is
manipulated, and imperfections in the data caused by
the technology are utilized to make the medium more
self-evident and create a lo-fi aesthetic. His work
has been included in many exhibitions and screenings
across Canada and the USA. Recently Zipp had an exhibition
at the Eastern Front Gallery in Toronto, ON, and upcoming
exhibitions include group shows at The Winnipeg Art
Gallery, the Kelowna Art Gallery in Kelowna, BC, and
at Plug In ICA in Winnipeg, MB.
John Greyson is
a Toronto film/video artist whose shorts, features and
installations include: Fig Trees (2003, Oakville Art
Galleries); Proteus (Best Actor, Sithenghi 2003); The
Law of Enclosures (2000, Best Actor Genie); Lilies (1996
- Best Film Genie, Best Film at festivals in Montreal,
Johannesburg, Los Angeles, San Francisco); Un©ut
(1997, Honourable Mention, Berlin Film Festival); Zero
Patience (1993 - Best Canadian Film, Sudbury Film Festival);
The Making of Monsters (1991 - Best Canadian Short,
Toronto Film Festival, Best Short Film Teddy - Berlin
Film Festival); and Urinal (1988 - Best Feature Teddy,
Berlin Film Festival). He co-edited Queer Looks, a critical
anthology on gay/lesbian film & video (Routledge,
1993), is the author of Urinal and Other Stories (Power
Plant/Art Metropole, 1993), and has published essays
and artists pieces in Alphabet City, Public, FUSE, and
