This remade version employs an iPhone, pico projector, and aquarium fog to explore the effects of the shrinking scale of technology and shift toward digital image systems. More importantly, however, the work proposes a kind of “haunting” – the ghostly effects of light made visible by fog, and the notion that the work is inescapably haunted by the original.

As a remake, the video provides a parallel narrative that explores the changes in historical and visual icons from 1958 to 2010 – and those images that remain surprisingly, and delightfully, the same. The work also comments on the pervasiveness of footage available for appropriation in an online world, and the way disparate threads in the YouTube and LiveLeak databases can be assembled to create “a movie.” Screenings: Festival of (In)Appropriation, L.A.

Despite a breakdown involving our air brakes getting punctured on the way home, I’ll still take a train over a plane pretty much any day, even if it involves ten more hours of traveling. You get to look out a big window the whole way. The sound was recorded directly in the Amtrak terminal at Chicago’s Union Station. It’s raw and unmixed. I could sit and listen for hours. And I did.

The project was devoted to preserving the home movie historical record before these films fade from memory – and decay to the point of unintelligibility. Lost in Light’s mission was predicated on the notion that home movies contribute a unique perspective to the visual historical record by capturing everyday, quotidian rituals – birthday parties, family vacations, Christmas mornings – in intimate, personal detail and through the vivid medium of the moving image. From January 2007 – August 2008, the project sustained itself by offering free, high quality home movie transfers to anyone who inquired, in exchange for allowing us to post excerpts of the movies on the website. Contributors could also choose to make their movies available for creative use by posting the complete films to the Internet Archive, a massive, permanent digital library, under an open, Creative Commons copyright license. The goal with this latter effort was to harness the unique collaborative possibilities of the Internet to make these historical films available to artists, scholars, and educators for additional uses.
