… exploring nostalgic sensibilities, Rebecca Baron and Douglas Goodwins Lossless #2 is a mesmerizing assemblage of compressed digital images of Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid’s 1943 masterpiece Meshes of the Afternoon. Baron and Goodwin play heavily with Teiji Ito’s 1959 soundtrack, making the films lyrical ambience feel more astonishing than ever before.

Lossless #2 (Rebecca Baron, Douglas Goodwin; pictured above)–Supposedly just the result of a broken BitTorrent download, this is an exciting visual mess as artifacts transform scenes from Meshes of the Afternoon into a disorientating but clever new form. Someone will steal this concept for a music video soon.
