Chaos Cinema Part 2 from Matthias Stork on Vimeo.

The video essay Chaos Cinema, administered by Indiewire’s journalistic blog PRESS PLAY, examines the extreme aesthetic principles of 21st century action films. These films operate on techniques that, while derived from classical cinema, threaten to shatter the established continuity formula. Chaos reigns in image and sound. Part 2 takes a look at the chaotic style in dialogue scenes, musicals, “shaky-cam” extravaganzas and mourns the rich history of early cinema.

The video essay was widely debated on the internet and featured in newspaper publications such as THE WEEK and THE NEW YORK TIMES.

A meta-TED talk by Benjamin Bratton.

Touché! (Even though it alternates between TEDious clever sound bytes and annoying academese.)

It has been constructed over 8 days in the church yard of St James’ near Piccadilly Circus in central London in a bid to bring some reality of what it is like to live in Bethlehem in 2013.
