Primary Stimulus / 1977

Primary Stimulus is an integrated sound-image structure which explores the intrinsic qualities of cinematic light. The abstract patterns which are seen on the screen when Primary Stimulus is projected are the same patterns which create the film’s accompanying soundtrack. My aim in Primary Stimulus, however, was not merely to create the effect of "seeing sound." but rather, in a larger sense, to further develop the cinematic potential of non-objective light as a free and viable tool for audio-visual action. By using the film frame as a consolidated unit, sound and image issue from a single center and interpenetrate in a way which is not limited by the structural conventions of music or pictorial form. It was, therefore, my intention in Primary Stimulus to exploit the freedom of this holistic cinematic concept, and to create an expressive animated work based on the frame-by-frame articulation of sight and sound relationships.

Primary Flight Instruction: Stearman N2-S Part 1 / 1945

In this government documentary short film for the U.S. Navy, pilot trainees are instructed in the basics of take-off preparation, including the plane captain's inspection and the checklists of notations from prior flights of the same aircraft. Instructor Lt. Taylor gives one trainee a lesson in the aerodynamics of wing construction and how airflow creates lift on the wings when the engine propels it through the air.

Primary Flight Training: Attitudes of Flight: Part 1 / 1945

This documentary short film is one of a series of U.S. Navy training films instructing new pilots on flight technique. In this, an instructor lectures (with live and animated film footage) pilot trainees on the initial techniques of maintaining proper aircraft attitude while in flight. Straight and level flying, climbing, turning, gliding, and slow flying all require the plane to maintain the correct physical attitude, and proper methods and the possibility of mistakes are demonstrated.

Primary Flight Training: Keep It Flying, Part 1 / 1945

In this documentary short film from the U.S. Navy, a naval flight instructor demonstrates to a pair of cadet pilot trainees the proper means of maintaining stable flight without danger of stalling. He explains the principles of lift versus weight, and how the angle of attack determines the speed and attitude necessary to avoid stalling.

Primary Flight Training: Keep It Flying, Part 2 / 1945

In this documentary short film for the U.S. Navy, proper spin and stall techniques for pilot trainees are explored. After Cadet McDribble nearly collides with a squadron of Navy planes because he has practiced spins through clouds, Lt. Taylor shows his student the proper way to deliberately stall the aircraft and to recover from spins.

Primary Flight Training: Taxiing and Take-offs / 1945

In this government documentary short film, a U.S. Navy flight instructor demonstrates to a young pilot trainee the proper methods for taxiing an aircraft at an airfield. He also illustrates proper take-off procedure and many of the common mistakes made during both these activities. The dangers of getting too close to other planes whose engines are running are also show. A young cadet named McDribble is presented with evidence of his failures to follow procedure and given punishment duty.

Primary Flight Training: Flight Sense / 1944

Two young pilot trainees arrive for primary flight training and meet their instructor, Navy pilot Lt. Taylor. Lt. Taylor talks to the men about the necessity of becoming practiced in the way of the aircraft in such a way as to enable them to rely on their senses much of their time in the air, as reliance on instruments can be confusing for beginning pilots. He explains that, at first, flying will be like walking or riding a bicycle were first learned -- by trial and error and following strict instructions. But with practice, eventually the pilot's senses will take over and much of the process of flying will rely more on his feel for the plane and less on rote following of instructions.

The Movies Begin - The Great Train Robbery And Other Primary Works 1894-1913 / 2002

The genesis of the motion picture medium is vividly recreated in this unprecedented collection of the cinema's formative works. More than crucial historical artifacts, these films reveal the foundation from which the styles and stories of the contemporary cinema would later arise. An animated rendering of Eadweard Muybridge's primitive motion studies (1877-85) begins the program, immediately defining the compound appeal of cinema as both a scientific marvel and sensational popular entertainment.

Primary Flight Training: First Flight, Part 2 / 1945

In this continuation of a prior government documentary short film, a pilot trainee continues his first flight instruction. His instructor demonstrates the use of ailerons, elevators, and rudder to control the plane in banks and turns, and illustrates the necessity of using them simultaneously in a coordinated manner. Occasionally, a less attentive pilot, McDribble, is shown failing properly to execute the maneuvers in the prescribed manner.

Prototype 1: what can this primary container do /

Using textiles and technology as complimentary materials to understand our sense of self through our interactions with tactile surfaces. Employing deliberate construction techniques of sloppiness and glitchiness allows for an exploration of non-linear experiences of time, body and relationships, and how concepts of ‘failure’ in terms of gender and textile proficiency create a space to perform and reject binary hierarchies of skill, value and power.
