PXL THIS

 

According to filmmaker Bryan Konefsky: "Pixelvision is the haiku of cinema: the minimum of means delivering the maximum of meaning. The PXL 2000 toy camera's limited image-quality forces moviemakers to focus on essentials, and thereby to produce a richly connotative cinematic experience. In fact, PXL may be the best instantiation of Stan Brakhage's luminous quote: 'The true meaning of cinema can be found between the frames.'"

"All the PXL THIS videos reflect festival organizer Gerry Fialka's commitment to the freedom produced by making art without financial constraints."
- Holly Willis, LA Reader.

"Artists want to do things that break the rules of the mainstream. Just using this camera (the PXL2000) is breaking a kind of rule about what an image should look like." 
-Amy Taubin of The Village Voice & NY Times on EGG THE ARTS SHOW, PBS


"Because the camera is so simplistic, and there are not alot of technical things you got to learn to play with art, then you start trying to figure out stories or concepts that feed off its limitations."
-Michael Possert, Pixelator on EGG THE ARTS SHOW, PBS


"Pixelvision is the DNA of digital filmmaking"
- Gerry Fialka, PXL THIS curator on EGG THE ARTS SHOW, PBS

"The next medium, whatever it is - it may be the extension of consciousness - will include television as its content, not as its environment, and will transform television into an art form." 
-Marshall McLuhan, 1967

"There is no instrument more direct than a pencil and a piece of paper for the expression of ideas. Everything else that interferes with that direct relationship with the eyes, the mind, the arm, and the hand causes a loss of fidelty, if i can use that word this way. I like the idea that this ultimate reductive simplicity is the way to elicit the most extraordinary functions of the brain." 
-Milton Glaser ART IS WORK

"Poor tools require better skills" 
-Marcel Duchamp
