Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi (1982)

Directed by Godfrey Reggio and scored by Philip Glass, this movie that combines slow motion and time lapsed footage creates a dialogue between the sublimity of nature, but also of the technological age (and man's small, yet greatly effected position within it).:

Jefferson Pinder

Excited for Jefferson Pinder's lecture tomorrow.

Lazarus from Jefferson Pinder on Vimeo.

He is a video, installation, and sculpture artist who works with themes of African American identity. I most appreciate his videos, which are often accompanied by extremely good music selections from hip-hop, African, Blues, and Latin sources. They effectively retain viewer interest while creating metaphors of struggle.

Photos of Louis Armstrong

It's hard not to smile looking at photos of Louis Armstrong:
