dont.need.no.body 

(2003) 

by Scott Pagano (Neither Field) is inspired by early Steve Reich tape pieces, Naut Humon and Tim Digulla's Granular Synthesis video remix, and People magazine.

File sharing, reconstruction, and micro edits, enabling the transformation of a coming of age piece into a staccato reworking of sweaty seduction. The post-pubescent pop star trapped in phasing cycles creating the nearly academic out of florida-derived absurdity.

Paul Sharits (2008) edited by Yann Beauvais. Known primarily for his experimental cinema and pictorial works, Paul Sharits developed an oeuvre that evolved around two central themes: one, closely related to music and the world of abstraction, the other, within the psychological and emotional arena of the figurative. This complete monograph, drawn from a recent exhibition, explores the connections between these two practices, and in addition provides a general introduction to a remarkable body of work. Illustrated throughout, the monograph also includes several essays, texts by Paul Sharits and interviews. (les presses du réel)
