Electrate Long Shot- corpse of the Dragon

When people think they've seen enough of something, but there's more, and no change of shot, then they react in a curiously vivid way.p.11

The Long Shot

Movement of frames in a film, when slowed down, reveal many instances of the decayed essence of the subject. Film becomes a series of photographs that

Film reanimates the coordinates of time, of representing movement as flows and patterns of time by expressing them as energy rather than as the effects of energy given in the transition from one frozen instant to another.p.96

The Vaporwave genre of music and video combinations, that was not mentioned in the Cinematics book, works very well within the poetics section of our process in this class. This video is called Saint Pepsi. The artist uses footage and samples of early 90's media. In slowing and chopping the sound and video as well as encouraging the analog glitch that arises through VHS playback on Cathode tubes,

It is also like the sound of mice laughing. We can only hear them if we record the laughter and then process the audio to a lower frequency:
                                    
Vaporwave art-making is built in an Electrate Metaphysics, and forms critique through looking at its own history. The artist states via media "This is the Other, slowed down.-Here, look at this pattern (     ) Listen to the repetition of sound. What are the lyrics? Were any elements of this action invisible until you slowed down to feel how it is stained on you?

Now that we have seen the dragon corpse, let's set out to create a more beautiful one.
