Robert Wilson Watermill Center '08 Produced by David Nadal, Kevin Berlin, Reporter VVH-TV Hamptons Television® The New York Times describes Robert Wilson as "a towering figure in the world of experimental theater." His works integrate a wide variety of artistic media, combining movement, dance, painting, lighting, furniture design, sculpture, music and text into a unified whole. A native of Waco, Texas, Wilson was educated at the University of Texas and Brooklyn's Pratt Institute. By the late 1960s he was acknowledged as one of the leading figures in Manhattan's avant-garde theater and has since developed an international reputation as a world-class director and designer. Throughout the world Wilson has staged both original works and productions from the traditional theater repertoire. His non-theatrical art works have been shown in museums and galleries internationally. In addition, his talents as an exhibition designer have graced numerous international venues including the Guggenheim Museum, the National Gallery in Berlin, the Vitra Design Museum, and the Barbican Centre. Each summer Wilson develops new work at the Watermill Center in eastern Long Island -- a theater laboratory which brings together students and experienced professionals in a multi-disciplinary environment dedicated to creative collaboration. The Watermill Center is located on a wooded six-acre site in the Hamptons, Long Island, two hours from New York City. Robert Wilson has designed and developed the facility at Watermill gradually since he acquired the property in 1992. Many aspects of the master plan were realized in collaboration with participants of the Summer Program. Both the building and the landscaped Watermill Center grounds are characterized by the careful arrangement and integration of natural and man-made components. These features bear the imprint of Robert Wilson's aesthetic ideals and shape the atmosphere of the site.

Art Rock "almost always features keyboards more than guitar." As well, art rock is " not so much for dancing as for listening and it often tells a story or has a philosophical theme to the lyrics."

My brief argument for videogames to be recognized as a serious art form, however primitive at the moment. Clips shown: Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat A Trip to the Moon Dickson Experimental Sound Film The Persistence of Memory Karajan conducting Beethoven's 5th Symphony Citizen Kane The Battleship Potemkin Un Chien Andalou Singin' in the Rain The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Metropolis Iron Man 300 Satantango SpaceWar! Pong Pac-Man Super Mario Bros. Madden Football 1995 The Incredible Machine Final Fantasy X Command and Conquer 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Roger Ebert Johann Sebastian Bach Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Michael Levy's Giant Steps Christian Wolff John Zorn John Zorn's Cobra Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time The Neverhood LocoRoco Patapon Resident Evil 5 Fallout 3 Grand Theft Auto 4 New Super Mario Bros. Crysis Grau Cops Shadow of the Colossus Façade The Night Journey Super Smash Bros. Brawl Duke Nukem Forever The Path Okami Transcript: When the motion picture was invented, critics considered it an amusing toy. They didn't see its potential to be an art form like painting or music. But only a few decades later, film was in some ways the ultimate art, capable of passion, lyricism, symbolism, subtlety and beauty. Film could combine the elements of all other arts - music, literature, poetry, dance, staging, fashion, and even architecture - into a single, awesome work. Of course, film will always be used for silly amusements, but it can also express the highest of art. Film has come of age. In the 1960s, computer programmers invented another amusing toy: the videogame. Nobody thought it could be a serious art form. And who could blame them? Super Mario Bros. didn't have much in common with Citizen Kane. And, nobody was even trying to make artistic games. Companies just wanted to make fun playthings that would sell lots of copies. But recently, games have started to look a lot like the movies, and people wondered, "Could this become a serious art form, like film?" In fact, some games basically were films, with tiny bits of gameplay snuck in. Of course, there is one major difference between films and games. Film critic Roger Ebert thinks games can never be an art form, because: "Video games by their nature require player choices, which is the opposite of the strategy of serious film and literature, which requires authorial control." But wait a minute... aren't there already serious art forms that allow for flexibility, improvisation, and player choices? Bach, Mozart, and other composers famously left room for improvisation in their classical compositions. And of course jazz music is an art form based almost entirely on improvisation within a set of scales or modes or ideas. Avantgarde composers Christian Wolff and John Zorn write "game pieces" in which there are no pre-arranged notes at all! Performers play according to an unfolding set of rules, exactly as in baseball or... Mario. So gameplay can be art. Maybe the real reason some people don't think games are an art form is that they don't know of any artistic videogames. Even the games with impressive graphic design and good music have hokey stories and unoriginal drive-jump-shoot gameplay. And for the most part, they're right. There aren't many artistic games. Games are only just becoming an art form. It took film a while to become art, too. But maybe the skeptics haven't played the right games, either. Have they played Shadow of the Colossus, a minimalist epic of beauty and philosophy? Have they played Façade, a one-act play in which the player tries to keep a couple together by listening to their dialogue, reading their facial expressions, and responding in natural language? Have they seen The Night Journey, by respected video artist Bill Viola, which intends to symbolize a mystic's path to enlightenment? It is an exciting time for videogames. They will continue to deliver simple fun and blockbuster entertainment, but there is also an avant-garde movement of serious artists who are about the launch the medium to new heights of expression. And I, for one, can't wait to see what they come up with.

Perhaps Anger's most elaborate film, Lucifer Rising takes place at various historically magick spots in Egypt, England and Germany. The odd rock- tinged soundtrack (composed and recorded by Beausoleil in prison, after a reconciliation with Anger) pulls viewers through a series of obsessively staged and hauntingly realized ceremonies, movements and rituals. Experimental editing techniques, mixed with more traditional cinematic structures, add to the eerie and compelling visual quality of this avant-garde masterpiece. Marianne Faithfull, the Rolling Stones (Anger had wanted Jagger to play Lucifer), Satanism, lightning, pyramids and extravagant costumes are only a few of the contributing elements that bring this film to a fever pitch of strangeness and cultural abstraction. Like other Anger films, it reads like a music video from outer space or Ancient Egypt ... or wherever the two may meet ...
