Hex - Global Chaos (VHS, 1993) image from archiveorg: 'Robert Pepperell founded Hex in 1990 along with Miles Visman and Coldcut members Matt Black and Jon More. We wanted to exploit the creative possibilities of personal computers especially exploring the convergence of distinct media such as music, video, animation and visuals. We developed a number of ground-breaking products in a wide variety of formats over the decade or so Hex was in existence. Hex went throught many transformations and was finally wound up in 1999 after internal tensions came to a head. However, the name and spirit of Hex continues through its bastard off-spring Hexstatic and the legacy of its audio-visual experiments can be seen in the work of a number of digital artists and performers. Here follows a brief history of the Hex years. ... In May 93 Hex released "Global Chaos" on vhs, a 1 hour sell-through Rave Video distributed by Imagine and featuring computer graphix so intense you may require shades to watch it! Soundtrax mixed by Coldcut. Global Chaos revolves around the story of the Alien Sphinx's trip to Earth to steal our resources for his own dead planet. On experiencing the Chaos which reigns on Earth and seeing how we have already nearly trashed our World, he realises that the only hope is to combine his psychic powers with the energy of Rave music in an attempt to prevent all-out destruction of everything by malignant Infoviruses and Fascist control freaks.' #kinostr #music #art #artstr #kino #acid #experimental

The Vampire (short, 1945) Director: Jean Painlevé image Jean Painlevé’s short THE VAMPIRE draws the connection between the movie monsters of the same name and the South American vampire bat. The animal’s gruesome feeding habits are on full display. After a look at some strange creatures, the narrator and camera take us to the Chaco forest, on the borders of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, where a vampire bat lives, desmodus rotondus, attacking wildlife and domesticated creatures, killing small ones by draining all their blood and killing large ones by leaving a parasite in their bloodstream. Four inches long, with a 12-inch wingspread, we see it walk, approach a victim, pull out a patch of fur large enough for it to engage its teeth, then lap six or seven ounces of blood. Its saliva may be an anesthetic keeping its victims from waking. A stub nose and harelip contribute to its efficiency and its hideous look. #documentary #art #filmstr #artstr #kinostr #french
