cooking: ingredients are chosen and combined, subjected to the controlled heat of the artist\u2019s craft and sensibility.\u00a0 You might conceive a recipe and then go about gathering all the elements that will go into it, but most artists, in whatever medium, keep a kind of pantry of ideas, sketches, and fragments that they draw upon to make a dish.<\/p>\n<p>My blogging process works the same way. \u00a0My pantry contains my archive of new and old work, sketches and experiments, things I\u2019ve seen, ideas and fragments of writing.\u00a0 When I feel the need to whip up a blog post, I see what\u2019s in the pantry and try to figure out what I can make from it.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/15\/dimensions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Last week\u2019s post<\/a> was a kind of stew, a bunch of unrelated morsels that were simmered together in the stock idea of spatial perception.<\/p>\n<p>This week I\u2019m going to look at this art of combining ingredients through \u201cLuminous Interval\u201d, a video piece I made twenty years ago, one of my earliest attempts to make something meaningful out of the random results of unguided experimentation that tend to fill my pantry. \u00a0The illustrations are still frames from the video piece, interspersed without particular reference to the adjacent text.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2578\" style=\"width: 610px\"

producing local television commercials to run on cable systems in small city markets around Oklahoma and Texas.\u00a0 I used to drive to these markets in a production van with industrial U-matic video equipment.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t making my own films, but I often experimented with the equipment, filming the highways and motels on my way.\u00a0 When the gain was turned up on these old tube cameras, for shooting in low-light levels, the results had a weird, hyper-saturated glow.\u00a0 Other effects arose from filming with condensation on the lens, or from changing various settings while shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Another kind of experimentation I enjoyed was <a href=\"http:\/\/members.tripod.com\/professor_tom\/galleries\/video\/\" target=\"_blank\">video feedback<\/a>.\u00a0 Pointing a camera at its own monitor creates the same kind of endless tunnel effect you get by facing a mirror to another mirror, but with a slight delay, and moving the camera or changing settings produces blooming, morphing forms of colored light.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2580\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

access to video and film gear, working as Operations Manager at Film\/Video Arts, a nonprofit media arts center offering equipment, facilities and training at subsidized rates for independent and noncommercial film and video projects.\u00a0 I borrowed a spring-wound Bolex 16mm camera and shot some film while visiting a waterfall and stream somewhere in the woods in the Catskill mountains with a dancer friend.\u00a0 Later, I experimented further with this footage on Film\/Video Arts\u2019 film-to-tape transfer machine, which allowed film to be run forward and backward, in slow and fast motion, and converted to negative, with tonalities and colors reversed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2579\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

this aimless playing around.\u00a0 I loved the imagery, but something more coherent would have to be made from it to make it worth sharing with others.\u00a0 My starting point was the contrast between the lush eden of the Catskills stream and the alienating, isolated feeling of the highways and motels.\u00a0 The architecture that grows around the modern highway is functional, generic, and hard.\u00a0 It aims to keep us moving along, no rooting or flourishing allowed.\u00a0 In this context, the forest stream images could be seen as memories of the richness of life.<\/p>\n<div

id=\"caption-attachment-2577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luminous Interval, 1991, still frame from video by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I had recently been reading the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.near-death.com\/experiences\/buddhism01.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bardo Thodol<\/a>, or Tibetan Book of the Dead, a text that views death as a transitional state, a passage between worlds in which visions of peaceful and wrathful deities test the spiritual state of the soul on its way to finding a new womb of rebirth.\u00a0 Though I was young and healthy myself, mortality was on my mind.\u00a0 This was at the height of the AIDS crisis, when so many of the creative of my generation, and so many of my friends, suddenly wasted away in their prime.<\/p>\n<p>The Bardo Thodol gave me a rough structure, inspiring the six numbered \u201cchapters\u201d seen in the video. \u00a0The edition of the Bardo Thodol that I had described the \u201cbardo\u201d as a \u201cluminous interval\u201d or transitional state between realms, so &#8220;Luminous Interval&#8221; became the final title of the piece (some earlier versions were screened under the title &#8220;Baptism&#8221;).\u00a0 My idea of this structure was also influenced by the 1963 electronic music composition \u201cLe Voyage\u201d, by <a href=\"http:\/\/media.hyperreal.org\/zines\/est\/intervs\/henry.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pierre Henry<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cLe Voyage\u201d is also based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and had been a favorite album of mine when I was a kid.\u00a0 Some fragments of this piece are used in \u201cLuminous Interval\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2576\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption

appropriating some of its amazing medical footage, especially the material showing the fertilization of the ovum and development of the embryo, to layer in with my other material.<\/p>\n<div

silent.\u00a0 I felt that having some sound on it would make it easier to find transitions and moments in it, so I simply dubbed entire sides of some of my favorite LPs onto the source footage tapes.\u00a0 I chose atmospheric pieces that seemed to fit the moods I saw in the footage, but once the sound was laid down I did nothing to move or alter it.\u00a0 In the edited video, wherever the video is cut the audio is also cut, and wherever there are two pieces of video superimposed, the two sound sources are also mixed.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019d finished a rough edit of all this material around the Bardo Thodol structure, it did seem a mystical, psychedelic journey, but I felt it still needed a stronger narrative element.\u00a0 I found the poem \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/obrerosintelectuales.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/flight-of-quetzalcoatl-by-jerome.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Flight of Quetzalcoat<\/a>l\u201d in <a

the dawn, the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feathered_Serpent_%28deity%29\" target=\"_blank\">Feathered Serpent<\/a>.\u00a0 This poem seemed to fit my narrative like a glove, so I added excerpts from it as a voiceover. \u00a0Like the music excerpts, the poem is fragmented and re-ordered.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2575\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

out of pure play, without any vision of the finished product guiding the creation of the source material.\u00a0 Much of my work is done this way, not only video work but also drawing and painting.\u00a0 In my larger drawing works, I often begin by sketching unplanned overlapping figures, only then trying to discover some structure in the resulting chaos.\u00a0 You can read a

of material in this piece that I\u2019ve appropriated without permission.\u00a0 When the film was made it was only shown in noncommercial screenings, so it wasn\u2019t an issue, but now it\u2019s going up on the internet.\u00a0 I think the \u201cfair use\u201d argument, that only fragments of the music and video and text sources are used and that they\u2019ve been made into a substantially new work that does not compete or infringe on the original sources, applies here.\u00a0 Full credits are seen at the end of the film and can also be found in the info section on the video\u2019s Vimeo
