​L.A.-based filmmaker Andre Perkowski’s Nova Express is an experimental anti-narrative cinematic experience, a kind of ongoing, unfolding pastiche of found footage cobbled together from seemingly random sources, while the soundtrack features a host of recognizable folks reading from William S. Burroughs’s 1964 novel of the same name, people like Allen Ginsberg, Kathleen Cecchin and even Burroughs himself; for this excerpt, we’re hearing a Night Flight fave and latest contributor, Phil Proctor of the Firesign Theatre, reading an excerpt called “The Subliminal Kid.”

Perkowski uses all types of visual mnemonics here, lots of imagery we’ve all seen before —1950s-era secret military base footage, Fedora's film noir detectives, stethoscope doctors plunging hypodermic aiguilles into prone patients, and lots of UFO imagery and astronaut-looking spacemen — and the effect is both familiar and strange at the same time.

The music is by Kristin Palker & Andre Perkowski.

Sleaford Mods are not your average band. In fact, they’re not even a band, technically. Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn have gained notoriety by exploding any and all assumptions you could make of them from either their name, appearance or past. Two white, relatively middle-class men touching middle age whose music comes from deep within the gurgling bowels of lo-fi, electronic hip-hop. Primal, raw and aggressive. It wasn’t always so, by his own admission Jason started out his musical career guitar in hand, trotting out the sort of middle-of-the-road, cliched singer-song writer guff that engulfed the ‘90s. But somewhere along the way he was compelled to rip up the communal hymn sheet, he began kicking against the pricks.

​An experiment using a «sonification scanner» on rock carvings from the Bronze Age [1800 –500 B.C.].

​Outdoor audio and video installations on a Bronze Age site just outside Stavanger.
3-12. October 2008, Austre Åmøy, Stavanger, Norway

One of the main mottos of Stavanger 2008 is openness. It is just such openness to external impulses that is reflected in the Bronze Age discoveries. 
There was lively contact across large parts of Europe and the neighbouring areas to the South and East.

The Bronze Age is one of the few pre-historic periods from which a wealth of pictorial material remains. 
This is perhaps best expressed in the rock carvings that still form a part of our landscape. 
The rock carvings were ritual meeting places. Today they can also be regarded as art.

The people of the Bronze Age expressed their world of ideas through these carvings.
Today, too, the rock carvings are surrounded by a certain mystic aura,  even though meticulous research has decoded some of the 3000-year-old messages.

Through the project Markers in the Landscape, Rogaland County Council gives contemporary artists the opportunity to create commissioned work/installations inspired by our knowledge of the world of ideas and artistic effects of the Bronze Age. The idea is to exhibit these works by the original 3000-year-old sites to give the audience an experience of the monuments that cannot be expressed in words. With the new, but authentically-based,  experience by the original sites, the project seeks to open the minds of the spectators to this strange and distant past.

The production company Nuproductions has been engaged as a partner on the production side. 
Geir Jenssen – better known as Biosphere – has also been invited to participate. 
Geir Jenssen is a leading composer and musician within the electronic music genre and has experience of similar projects. 
Light installations are also being planned in addition to the sound background.

The island of Austre Åmøy has been chosen as arena for the installation.
Here, the rock carvings can be seen in more or less their original environment, without much modern interference.

Alt Går Bra begins the third year of its Tout Va Bien series by presenting philosopher Jacques Rancière.
Rancière refers to artists as “those whose strategies intend to make the invisible visible or to question the self-evidence of the visible; to rupture given relations between things and meanings and, inversely, to invent novel relationships between things and meanings that were previously unrelated.”

Also known for his groundbreaking investigations into workers archives and pedagogy, Rancière is an indispensable thinker in contemporary aesthetics. 
​
With the title “Shifting Borders: Art and Politics To-day”, the lecture was presented at Tout Va Bien, analyze the intersections between art and politics during these exciting times of political ruptures and consequent new beginnings. 
Tout Va Bien is Alt Går Bra’s open research devoted to studying how art can contribute to the political.

Paul Virilio, French philosopher, talking about the art, speed, perception, and cinematic. In the lecture Paul Virilio discusses the concepts of velocity, light, futurism, tele-objectivity, in relationship to Duchamp, Lacan, Bataille, systemic crisis, abstract art, focusing on direction, screens, and acceleration. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2009, Paul Virilio

At Cannes Film Festival  2014,  Jean-Luc Godard premiered his latest feature Goodbye to Language, marking his first foray into 3D.

Canon sat down with a one-on-one interview with the director before the premiere. 

Their discussion dives heavily into the specialized parts of making his most recent work (counting showing couple of new clasps) as the master filmmaker likewise talks about  the shifting landscape of production and presentation while addressing some of his prior work.
