. CULTURETV NEWS Our playlist of this week presents the new site-specific installation by Ne w York-based artist Jon Kessler,especiallly created for P.S.1 in NY. Refere ncing issues relevant to contemporary society; including politics, war, adv ertising, propaganda and surveillance. KesslerB4s work thrusts the viewer directly into a complex visual experience. Though sources of inspiration an d information are varied and include reality television such as "The Swan" ,kabuki and "Apocalypse Now". The Unseen Video, from Daniel Scheibel & Ferdinand Weinrother (D).A weather controlled, dynamic music video for Mike Milosh's - You Make Me Feel. The Unseen Video is much more than a normal, static music video. It is a video that is affected by the weather and local time from the position of the vie wer. Also this week we show you works made by one of the new Chinese artists Zha o Bo is from Chongqing, Sichuan province in south-central China. Zhao Bo ha s captured this life on the streets - the clash of communist and capitalist , east and west, the ridiculous, the sly, the ludicrous and the overwhelmin g feeling that everyone is on the make. The video and photo installation Relax by Ralph Kämena. The starting p oint of Relax is the utopian lay-out of a Vinex district (i.e. a new housin g estate on the outskirts of a town): the idea that an environment could be invented on a drawing board. Relax is a work in progress, in which the art ificiality of the Vinex architecture will be connected with the intimacy of homely interiors in a lyrical way. Last week we already announced the first video of a serie from Valentina Ni si. The Media Portrait of the Liberties concerns the development, productio n, and interactive delivery of multiple short stories about the Dublin Libe rties community. The famous filmscene and song of Gene Kelly has been translated by Peter Wi lliam Holden into an installation/ballet. Autogene is made of 8 umbrellas i n circle which dance to the sound Singin' In the Rain. Hope you will enjoy the videos.
