1968

Experimental film

Mad Mesh was made by photographing disturbed mesh patterns from a television camera tube. An Image Orthicon camera in the Federal Engineering section of the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation at Gore Hill, Sydney) had developed a fault with the mesh in the pick-up tube that could be moved around with magnets. This produced mobile fluid patterns on the monitor.

Arthur and Corinne

Cantrill

Experimental film

The Cantrills might be said to have invented Expanded Cinema (at least in Australia) – in which the production and particularly the projection of films is not seen as a single screen form but one in which all kinds of things, from manipulation of the colour during the processing of the film to the use of several projectors and screens, coupled with performance, poetry, music and the stage are take as the medium in which the visual information can be supported and displayed.
