Discarded

[video not available at the moment - my apologies - please check back!]

"Discarded" was in a curated HD video art exhibit called "Out Of Frame: Motion Art from Mobius" in fall of 2006 at Philadelphia Art Alliance, the country's oldest interdisciplinary art institution. It was made in collaboration with Wade Echer and Tom Camarda.

Here's some really great press from Roberta Fallon of the Phila Weekly:

“Valerie Keller’s Discarded is just beautiful. Like a slowly morphing slideshow of still images, the piece...features weed-strewn parking lots and abandoned shopping carts. The accompanying audio is people talking about their love lives—stories of miscommunication and missteps."

Siniya

'Siniya' was broadcast as part of the MOOV-HD project on VOOM Satellite Network, later picked up by The Dish Network.

It is a composite, done partly in Final Cut Pro, partly in After Effects, of HD footage of water, shot by Wade Echer, and mystery footage I shall not reveal but it made streaks and sparkles (shooting of this secret footage was directed by Chris Scallon), and photographs of night driving taken by me. Audio collage created by me using Final Cut Pro.
