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 May is Nelly-Ève Rajotte's
'Olla' and Peter Eudenbach 's 'Streetcorner Solitude
(for Glenn Gould) '.
Nelly-Ève Rajotte's Olla
incorporates imagery that is generally split or superimposed
before melting again into another frame. The artist
transforms the images, reducing them to their formal
components and compressing them at times into horizontal
bands. A play on form progressively stretches across
the surface of the screen, allowing us to follow the
modification of the images collated from reality by
the artist. The original motif is at times indistinguishable
by the eye, but retained by the memory.
Peter
Eudenbach’s Streetcorner
Solitude (for Glenn Gould) Is a silent homage to
Glenn Gould, pianist, experimental musician, and hunter/gatherer
of sound. This video collage is meant to coexist with
the ambient sounds of Yonge-Dundas Square.
BIOS
Peter
Eudenbach uses sculpture, installation, video, and
multiples to explore
the history of ideas while playing with our expectations
of the commonplace.
His videos have been shown at the Rotunda Gallery, Ocularis,
Rooftop Films, and the Tugboat Film Festival, all in
Brooklyn, NY as well as the Future of Film Conference
in Lisbon, Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, and the
Fringe Short Film Festival in Gøteberg, Sweden.
Eudenbach lives and works in Norfolk, Virginia where
he teaches sculpture and video at Old Dominion University.
