Off/On

Trippy...Scott Bartlett, a prof. of Berkley at the time, created this short in the late 60's with a "new" medium called video, and filmed it.

Don't freak out if the screen is black for a bit. That's the way it starts.

@LightsOutLightshow thanks - corrected :D

Was Scott Bartlett on drugs when making this film?

It ought to have a "may cause seizures" warning on it too.

He was in Berkeley...of course he was on drugs.

...The seizures you are experiencing are just negative forces leaving your body.

Thanks so much for posting this!! I first saw this in a film analysis class back in college during the early to mid 90s.. completed fascinated me, and still does..

My pleasure - we totally need more art films available on the net to inspire new filmmakers.

Anyone seeing this video, please post any links to that effect.

Check out my art films, "Arterial Deposition in Thought and Being", "Memories of and Undefined Image", and my smaller ones, "8 9 10 123A", and others.
