誰も知らない / DARE MO SHIRANAI - HIROKAZU KOREEDA [FILM, JAPANESE 2004]
BASED ON THE WIDELY DOCUMENTED CHILD ABANDONMENT INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE IN SUGAMO (TOSHIMA-KU), TOKYO IN 1988, KNOWN AS "巣鴨子供置き去り事件" (SUGAMO KODOMO OKISARI JIKEN / SUGAMO CHILD ABANDONMENT INCIDENT).
NOBODY KNOWS TELLS THE STORY OF 4 CHILDREN'S BID FOR SURVIVAL AFTER BEING ABANDONED BY THEIR MOTHER.
I NEED NOT TO WRITE A REVIEW OF THIS FILM, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH IT YOURSELVES.
PHIL COY - TRANSMISSION LECTURE, SHOWROOM SHEFFIELD [05/12/2007]
HOST: DAVID COTTERELL
COY'S RECENT WORK LOOKS TO EXPLORE OUR INCREASINGLY DIGITIZED RELATIONSHIP TO THE PHYSICAL WORLD. FROM 2000, AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE ENTIRES EARTHS SURFACE HAD BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED DIGITALLY, COY STARTED TO CREATE LARGE PIXEL BASED SITE SPECIFIC WORKS. WHEN A SITE WAS FOUND, HE WOULD THEN RE-MAP THE EXACT LOCATION ON GOOGLE EARTH, SELECT THE EXACT SERIES OF PIXELS FROM THE SPACE AND INSTALL IT BACK TO THE LOCATION.
THESE SITE SPECIFIC WORKS, ALONG WITH 'OMEGA' (TRINIDAD 2004) CRITIQUED OUR INCREASINGLY DISTANT RELATIONSHIP TO OUR EARTH AND TRADITIONS.
'TEST SIGNAL' (2006) SIMILARLY TALKS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIGITAL. A CHOIR SINGS A 440HZ (OR CONCERT A) TONE TO MIMIC THAT WHICH BROADCAST TECHNICIANS USE TO VERIFY SIGNAL ACCURACY. WHEN THE CHOIR REACHED THE CORRECT PITCH, THE COLOURS ARE ACCURATE, AS THEY CAN NO LONGER HOLD THE EXACT NOTE, THE COLOURS WILL DEVIATE.
CONTRASTING TO THE DELICATE APPROACH ADOPTED IN THESE WORKS, IN HIS 2003 DRUM LECTURE COLLABORATION WITH DAVE CARBONE "REMINISCE THIS", COY TAKES ON THE GUISE OF THE FALL FRONTMAN MARK E SMITH.
CARBONE TWATS AWAY AT THE DRUMS TILL HIS ARMS GIVE UP, FORCING COY TO SPIEL VARIOUS DISCONNECTED AND SLIGHTLY HUMOROUS BEAT POETRY INTO THE MICROPHONE.
FAIR PLAY
