Carl- Ernest Gusella was born in Canada in 1941. Influenced by the study of classical music as a child and has BFA and MFAs in painting in San Francisco and that influences him as well. He experiments with audio synthesizers. Focusing on “Exquisite Corpse.” Very influenced by Nam June Paik. Title comes from a game that was played by surrealist arts. Very trippy “seizure warning”- hard to watch, migraine definitely! He is experimenting with frame rates and trick the mind into thinking what is part of the different compositions. Plays with viewing something the brain does not have time to process. 2 cameras are recording simultaneously and used a VideoLab to make the final imagery. Themes ¼ of each: Fornicalia Funk, New York Punk, European Bunk, and Canadian Skunk. “Basically, all of my work is about things which turn me on-either, visually, mentally or through sound, and are rites of passage to that ultimate future in which all the best aspects coalesce… I consider myself to be an eclectic artist who gets easily bored with things in the present, and this could be the major impetus in my desire to continue further explorations in the video medium.” Carl believes that later on in the video that his work becomes somewhat arbitrary. It is 8 minutes long and should be shorter basically with more forethought rather than experimentation. “… there is almost nothing an artist could possibly engage in that does not have social, political, and aesthetic ramifications beyond the work itself, which an audience can relate to (if it wants to).” Q- How does he display it? A- He is not particularly sure, there is not really any information, (Fabian)it was also 1974 so it was probably very impossible to make large, there were no projectors.
