Introduction Reggio is prominent in the film world for his QATSI trilogy, essays of visual images and sound which chronicle the destructive impact of the Baraka modern world on the environment. Samsara Koyaanisqatsi Chronos Born in New Orleans in 1940 and raised in southwest Louisiana, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic pontifical order, at age Koyaanisqatsi 14. Powaqqatsi He spent 14 years of his adolescence and early adulthood in fasting, Naqoyqatsi silence, and prayer while studying to be a monk. Microcosmos With the Qatsi Trilogy, Godfrey Reggio invented his own film style - Winged Migration which puts the emphasis on bringing audiences images of extraordinary emotional impact and thought-provoking relevance. Part essay, part Dogora Dogora image-and-music extravaganza, the three films chronicle the rapid Ata Whenua evolution and astonishing impact of the modern world over the last few Atlantis decades. Lucky People Centre International Reggio' s background is in contemplation (he spent 14 years in silence Anima Mundi and prayer, while studying to be a monk) and in service (not only to the environment but to youth, the poor and communities as well). 1 Giant Leap Genesis Born in New Orleans in 1940 and raised in southwest Louisiana, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic pontifical order, at age Winged Migration Fascinating Nature 14 and remained there for 14 years.

Interviews An Interview with Godfrey Reggio, taken from Satya Godfrey Reggio wowed critics and audiences 20 years ago with the groundbreaking film, Koyaanisqatsi, a Hopi word roughly meaning “life out of balance.” Through images accompanied with music composed by Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi creates a wordless experience of modern life 3 of 9 3/5/08 12:42 PM Godfrey Reggio - director of Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi,... http://www.spiritofbaraka.com/reggio.aspx in North America, showing both its natural beauty and our growing dependence on technology, and clashes between the two. Perhaps the most famous sequence is of New York’s traffic: sped-up images of cars, cabs and buses streaming up the avenue, stopping at lights while traffic floods across, then stops; pulsating over and over again. Some viewers praised Koyaanisqatsi as an ode to technology, while others applauded it as an environmentalist commentary. Reggio and Glass followed in 1988 with Powaqqatsi, “life in transformation,” which examines the effects our technology-centered lives have had on the South. It opens with a haunting sequence of a large gold mining operation in Brazil—thousands upon thousands of men haul heavy sacks of dirt up a steep incline like ants on an anthill. Last year, Reggio completed the “Qatsi Trilogy” with Naqoyqatsi or “life as war,” a startling look at the chronic, often violent struggle between humans and technology, and the effects it has on the planet. To celebrate the magnificence and variety of animals, Reggio created Anima Mundi, a 30 minute-long montage of over 70 animal species. And in the mid-70s, with funding from the American Civil Liberties Union, Reggio co-organized a multi-media public interest campaign on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. You were a monk before you started making films, right? I was a full-fledged lifer—I went in at 14, took my final vows at 25, and was exited at 28. Coming from that place of contemplation, what inspired you to start making the “Qatsi” films? In the order I was in, each brother takes five vows, one of which is teaching the poor gratuitously. As a young person I was seized by this idea of social justice and I wanted very much to follow my vow of teaching the poor gratuitously. I was told that was not practical or feasible, because how would we run our schools, etc.? But being idealistic, my activities became a problem for my superiors.

    LANDSCAPES AND THE MACHINE: ADDRESSING WICKED VALUATION PROBLEMS WHEN NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST MEET A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy by Michael McDermott Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building University of Technology, Sydney Supervisors: Associate Professor Jason Prior and Professor Spike Boydell 2015 Landscapes and the Machine: Addressing Wicked Valuation Problems when North, South, East and West Meet. i ABSTRACT This thesis is about engaging with the dynamic relationship between “landscapes”, “land tenure”, and the “machine”. The first term can be so broad as to mean every process and thing encountered, the second means the way that land is held by a person or group of persons, and the third means things both put together and used by humans to fulfil their wants and needs from the landscape. As a professional valuer I have been traditionally trained to engage at arms-length with the normative behaviour of persons or groups at the intersection of these three concepts, wherein those people and groups were willing but not compelled to engage. Such traditional valuation approaches are increasingly recognised as being insufficient to address wicked valuation problems of the diverse peoples and groups that inhabit the globe from North, South, East to West. This thesis develops a means of engaging with these wicked valuation problems in a suitably knowledgeable and prudent way. To do so the thesis adopts an exploratory approach guided by Whitehead’s process philosophy injunction of a creative advance into novelty. This approach is enacted through a range of data collection and analysis methods.

  • Neo-Modern Contemplative and Sublime Cinema Aesthetics in Godfrey Reggio’S Qatsi Trilogy
    Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts 2016, vol. XVIII ISSN 1641-9278 / e - ISSN 2451-0327219 Kornelia Boczkowska Faculty of English Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań [email protected] SPEEDING SLOWNESS: NEO-MODERN CONTEMPLATIVE AND SUBLIME CINEMA AESTHETICS IN GODFREY REGGIO’S QATSI TRILOGY Abstract: The article analyzes the various ways in which Godfrey Reggio’s experimental documentary films, Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002), tend to incorporate narrative and visual conventions traditionally associated with neo-modern aesthetics of slow and sublime cinema. The former concept, defined as a “varied strain of austere minimalist cinema” (Romney 2010) and characterized by the frequent use of “long takes, de-centred and understated modes of storytelling, and a pronounced emphasis on quietude and the everyday” (Flanagan 2008), is often seen as a creative evolution of Schrader’s transcendental style or, more generally, neo-modernist trends in contemporary cinematography. Although predominantly analyzed through the lens of some common stylistic tropes of the genre’s mainstream works, its scope and framework has been recently broadened to encompass post-1960 experimental and avant-garde as well as realistic documentary films, which often emphasize contemplative rather than slow aspects of the projected scenes (Tuttle 2012). Taking this as a point of departure, I argue that the Qatsi trilogy, despite being classified as largely atypical slow films, relies on a set of conventions which draw both on the stylistic excess of non-verbal sublime cinema (Thompson 1977; Bagatavicius 2015) and on some formal devices of contemplative cinema, including slowness, duration, anti-narrative or Bazinian Realism.

    REVIEW OF EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA SUBMISSION BY ANGUS TRUMBLE I wish to make the following submission in connection with DCITA’s 2003 Review of Exhibitions and Public Programs at the National Museum of Australia, Canberra. My thoughts about the NMA are largely the product of having for many years visited dozens museums all over the world, either out of interest or through my work as Curator of European Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide (1996 to 2001). However, I should also make it clear that I have had no professional contact with the NMA staff other than as an ordinary visitor, and it is in that capacity, not so much as an art museum curator, that I wish to comment on the building and aspects of the display, which I have studied carefully in the course of five visits in February and March this year. Despite the robust nature of many of my criticisms, I should say that I welcome the long-awaited arrival of the NMA. I believe it has a vital role to play in the cultural life of the nation, and the many problems that it must now solve are no more than temporary setbacks. None, apart from the terrible building, is insoluble, and even the building can be improved, I think, beyond measure. The architecture The design of the new NMA building is very poor and will not, I think, serve the long-term exhibition needs of the NMA. Nor will it open up new possibilities for public programming in the long term.

  • Not Even Past NOT EVEN PAST
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... Of How a Hopi Ancient Word Became a Famous Experimental Film Like 65 Tweet by Montserrat Madariaga The theater is at its full capacity. The musicians are in place as the orchestra conductor starts to wave his arms in time with the image on the screen. There, little red dots emerge from a black background. They slowly widen and turn into capital letters: The word KOYAANISQATSI takes over. Keyboard notes evoking a church organ underline the mystery of the term and suit the dramatic hard-edged-typography. It is a Friday afternoon, February 23, 2018, in the Bass Concert Hall of the Texas Performing Art Center of The University of Texas, at Austin. The occasion is the screening of Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 lm, accompanied by the live performance of The Philip Glass Ensemble playing its original score music. Featured for the rst time to an ample public in the 1982 New York Film Festival, Koyaanisqatsi is an audiovisual art piece without dialogue or voiceover, deprived of any explicit narrative, that is nowadays a cult classic. It opens with a shot of the Holy Ghost Panel in Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, a human trace dated between 400 AD and 1100 AD. Then, footage of imposing natural landscapes and wildlife of the United States’ Southwest is followed by images of urban spaces: construction, crowded streets, demolitions, technology of the time, and so on. The collage escalates in its pace along with the music: utes, clarinet, trombone, viola, tuba, keyboards and vocals from time to time repeat the word “koyaanisqatsi” in a low pitched ceremonial tone that creates an apocalyptic atmosphere.

  • Kings of Lies False Memories Records/Sonic Rendezvous Kings of Lies Is
    Kings of Lies False Memories Records/Sonic RendezVous Kings of Lies is the name of the band featuring Francis Kuipers, a Dutch / English artist, musician and composer, as well as writer and poet. During his many travels, he collected and studied ethnic and experimental music. This resulted in a still ongoing interest and research into sound and music. He created a unique and comprehensive archive of sounds. At this time, Francis mainly lives and works in Italy and the Netherlands. It is worth mentioning that the music of Kings of Lies is a hybrid of various music styles. The background of the band members, Francis Kuipers - voice, guitar, Franc auf dem Brinke - drums and Sam Tjioe - bass, is very different. The main influence is, of course, that of Francis Kuipers, author of the songs and lyrics. He comes from a tradition of folk and blues. Franc auf dem Brinke not only has a jazz background but is as well influenced by Cuban and Brazilian music. Sam Tjioe played in rock and punk bands and is also responsible for the production of the album. Perhaps even more important than the music, and certainly just as important, are the lyrics. These are primarily poetic; this can be traced back to Francis performing in duo with Beat Generation poet Gregory Corso for a number of years until Corso's death. Kings of Lies can hardly be described as performing love songs. In other times, a few of the numbers might have been labeled protest songs. According to their author they are ironic stories that challenge the prevailing morality of our times, characterized by intolerance, economic opportunism and the return of religion.

    My favourite film: Koyaanisqatsi By Leo Hickman December 13, 2011 It's a film without any characters, plot or narrative structure. And its title is notoriously hard to pronounce. What's not to love about Koyaanisqatsi? I came to Godfrey Reggio's 1982 masterpiece very late. It was actually during a Google search a few years back when looking for timelapse footage of urban traffic (for work rather than pleasure!) that I came across a "cult film", as some online reviewers were calling it. This meant I first watched it as all its loyal fans say not to: on DVD, on a small screen. If ever a film was destined for watching in a cinema, this is it. But, even without the luxury of full immersion, I was still truly captivated by it and, without any exaggeration, I still think about it every day. Koyaanisqatsi's formula is simple: combine the epic, remarkable cinematography of Ron Fricke with the swelling intensity and repeating motifs of Philip Glass's celebrated original score. There's your mood bomb, right there. But Reggio's directorial vision is key, too. He was the one who drove the project for six years on a small budget as he travelled with Fricke across the US in the mid-to-late 1970s, filming its natural and urban wonders with such originality. Koyaanisqatsi (1982) directed by Godfrey Reggio with music by Philip Glass. Photograph: Murdo Macleod for the Guardian Personally, I view the film as the quintessential environmental movie – a transformative meditation on the current imbalance between humans and the wider world that supports them (in the Hopi language, "Koyanaanis" means turmoil and "qatsi" means life).

  • CMA Celebrates Philip Glass's 80Th with Screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy
    CMA celebrates Philip Glass’s 80th with screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy by Mike Telin “Philip Glass is turning 80 on the 31st of this month, and I thought that was certainly cause for tipping the cap to one of the most famous composers of our time,” said Tom Welsh, Cleveland Museum of Art’s Director of Performing Arts, during a recent telephone conversation. “As a composer, Glass had a real impact on the whole world — not just in classical music, but everything — and I thought that was worth recognizing.” Beginning on Friday, January 27 and continuing through Sunday, CMA and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque will celebrate Glass’s 80th birthday with a presentation of The Qatsi Trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by filmmaker Godfrey Reggio with landmark musical scores by Glass. “We decided to organize the weekend in a way that allows people to enjoy them one day at a time — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — or take in all three during one sitting on Saturday,” Welsh noted. “This is a great opportunity to see them in the theater, on the big screen with a big sound. They are meant to mesmerize, and they do.” A complete schedule is below. Welsh said that it was not easy to figure out the best way for CMA to honor Glass’s birthday, but after searching through the composer’s extensive catalogue of music, the trail quickly led to Koyaanisqatsi. “I think it’s a ​ ​ masterpiece. I try to use that word sparingly, but the marriage of Glass’s music with Reggio’s film does make it a masterpiece.

  • GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) Is a Pioneer of a Film Form That Creates Poetic Images of Extraordinary Emotive Impact
    GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) is a pioneer of a film form that creates poetic images of extraordinary emotive impact. Reggio is best known for the Qatsi Trilogy – essays of image and music, speechless narrations which question the world in which we live. Born in New Orleans in 1940, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic Pontifical Order, at age 14 and remained as a monk until 1968. In 1963, he co-founded Young Citizens for Action, a community organization of juvenile street gangs. Reggio co-founded La Clinica de la Gente and La Gente, a community organizing project in Northern New Mexico’s barrios. In 1972, he co- founded the Institute for Regional Education in Santa Fe, a nonprofit organization focused on media, the arts, community organization and research. In collaboration with the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Reggio co- organized a multimedia public interest campaign on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. Reggio’s collaboration on Koyaanisqatsi with Ron Fricke (Director of Photography) and Philip Glass (Composer) gained an international audience, critical acclaim and launched the Qatsi Trilogy. Koyaanisqatsi has been played live over 200 times in venues worldwide. Reggio’s collaborations with Philip Glass, include: Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), Naqoyqatsi (2002), Anima Mundi (1992), Evidence (1995) and Visitors (2013). In 1993, Reggio was invited by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani to develop a new school “to smell the future” – an enterprise of exploration and production in the arts, technology and mass media. Called Fabrica – Futuro Presente, it opened in the middle of the ‘90s in Treviso, Italy.
