Paul Sharits - Epileptic Seizure Comparison

I composed an hourlong lecture on Sharits’ use of painted individual film cells and ‘flicker photography’ at the end of my undergraduate studies. One of the most fascinating experiments the artist attempted was to create a chamber in which the epileptic experience could be audiovisually recreated using specially calibrated sound, images, and flicker techniques. When combined in a specifically constructed space, the viewer would be made to feel as though they were really experiencing these symptoms. 

It would be amazing to see something like this recreated in Toronto.

Paul Sharits Corner T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G 1969 "There are moments in cinematic art when the narrative of the film is subjectively implied and subsequently written by the viewer. while this is common to most structural and lyrical films in the experimental genre, none hits louder than T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G,. an angry and demonic piece that simultaneously lulls you into awareness and hypnotizes you into an emotive overload."

Fluxfilm 29 Paul Sharits - Word Movie

“More than any of PAUL  SHARITS‘ flicker films, Word Movie most closely literalizes the flicker effect of the [film] shutter mechanism through its use of the separate word for each frame coupled with the single frame units of color. The word structure as a single unit becomes an analog for the individual film frame. And at the same time as serving that function, the word emphasizes the screen frame perimeters as certain words are horizontally cut off by the film line.”
