at MICROSCOPE<\/a>, in Brooklyn.

YES . . . !!<\/p>\n

\"Microscope-gallery-brooklyn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MICROSCOPE . . did exactly that.
\nit took the usually \/ confined to web viewing, i.e. postage stamp sized . . innovative, and tech-centric videos of KYLE WILLIAMS and NICHOLAS STEINDORF, and blew them up, BIG.
\nand I mean . . really really big, on a 12 ft. screen, and to make matters even more intense and STUNNING – the huge screen was positioned right up-front & center \/ as in, zero degree \/ bulls eye close-up to the viewers.
\nand yes !!
\nboth artists’ works greatly benefited, both from the large scale, and the intense, intimate venue.
\nput it this way: the audience got to go on an amazing, & dynamic . . video bender.
\nit was like sitting – in the first car of a super-charged roller coaster, but skewed to the eye of thinking man, of course.
\nno doubt about it.<\/p>\n

\"KYLE-WILLIAMS---red-cat\"<\/a>
\nSCREENGRAB: KYLE WILLIAMS – VIDEO<\/a><\/p>\n

unlike the 2, really 3 previous video\/film screenings I saw,
\n(1) MICHAEL FLEMING’S Instagram ‘micro’ screening \/ an installation ‘documentary’ of the . . .
\n(2) MICHI MEKO – vintage quilt \/ SAIGE ROWE – projection at DAY & NIGHT PROJECTS, in Atlanta Georgia – which was. quickly put: a ‘micro’ Mother Earth ‘narrative’ of a plant growing and being uprooted from rich dark soil, and
\n(3) TOMMY MALEKOFF’S ‘micro’ in running time, big punch . . landscape documentary on Kudzu the great green destroyer . .<\/p>\n

KYLE, and NICHOLAS’ work . . was very<\/em> different.
\nnot<\/strong> at all rooted in documentary (kudzu), or even staged\/edited (the quilt projection) – these guys live in the realm of FICTION, PERCEPTION, ABSTRACTION, MOTION, CURIOSITY, PAST, FUTURE, CONCEPT, TECHNICAL EFFECTS & . . PURE POETRY.<\/p>\n

although, there was also this gorgeous<\/strong> conceptual split, even there:
\nbecause while Kyle creates his magic with real<\/strong> photo-based objects, Nicholas uses futuristic \/ totally imagined CGI animation. <\/p>\n

While KYLE uses real<\/strong> life objects, they spin<\/strong> in a universe of their very own making – it’s a tale of physics, fiction and in a strange way: fusion.
\nfusion of the abstract . . to the real.<\/p>\n

while NICHOLAS . . is just totally off the reality grid, altogether.<\/p>\n

\nwhile I can send you to Kyle’s website, to view his work, there is no way to share – just how profoundly gorgeous, these things were, projected onto that huge Microscope screen, upfront & very personal.
\nvery intimate. very headspinning, very shape shifting.

\nthe room went round & round.
\nKYLE . . also posts remarkable and very poetic \/ photographic video snippets on his Instagram feed \/ @kylewyllyams<\/p>\n

\"Kyle-williams---IG-feed\"<\/a>
\nI have to say, this is one of my faves, very classical – All-American photo \/ poetry. <\/p>\n

KYLE’S works screened first, and then came . . NICHOLAS.
\nthat very<\/strong> first image of a huge huge ‘ZACH’, his iconic imaginary science boy \/ nerd of the future, looming up in-you-face<\/strong>, on that huge Microscope screen is seared into my brain, forever.
\nwhat a . . pop.<\/p>\n
