- Rhinoceros (1965) A animated version of Ionesco’s tale, a play on the theme of conformity.- Ubu and the Great Gidouille- Labyrinth
Jan Lenica's checkered career has encompassed excursions into music, architecture, poster-making, costume design, children's book illustration, and all aspects of filmmaking. It is, however, for his animation that he is best known, particularly his collage and "cutout" films, which have their roots in the art of Max Ernst and John Heartfield. The films have influenced the work of Jan Švankmajer and Terry Gilliam.

The Ethics of Stealing a Bike
between a movie in a movie and a performance with a subtle irony „new mediasmile“, Casey Neistat videos are a kind of conceptual brilliant dilettantism. On this movie he mixes different layer`s of perception into a state of question, what kind of ethic and social behavior are below pictures, words and the common value system.

Swim
A live video feedback performance by VJ Jeff Mission. The smooth, colorful waves in this piece were generated by chaining together two pieces of equipment - an Edirol V4 video mixer, and a JVC JX-C7 Video Corrector - in a continuous loop, then making incremental adjustments to the settings on the JX-C7. The result is a digital organism, composed of pure feedback, that can be manipulated at will. The technique used in this piece is one of the core components of his live performances.

Gestalt (2003)
DV, 5:20 minutesFour-dimensional quaternions (fractals) are visualized by projecting them into three-dimensional space. Instead of modeling objects of human imagination the realm of mathematics is explored. Only the variables of one formula (x[n+1]=x[n]^p-c) were changed. It took me about a year to get an idea of the transformations and shapes which could be expressed by this formula. Almost another year was needed to render the sequences which I decided to use.
