A blog about tactile movies by Anne Tetzlaff (London), Sven Eggers (Berlin) and Miha Erman (Ljubljana) we are so very disorganized, but at least here is the start of the blog. haptics /tactile I have that texts of Walter Benjamin, will put them here soon. starting points. as far as i was thinking about Haptic/tactile experience in Film it goes like this: i found myself always taking spectators point of view.. hmm.. naturally.. firstly we can make to main distinguishing lines - one is a literal presentation (Irreversible, delikatessen, some contemporary 3D's...) and on the other hand we can talk about haptic experience that is a result of a mass of experiencing the film material. the second one can come out of a completely abstract and bodiless visual, textual or sound material. here we could also talk of spectator's body as an object and subject involved. A perfect example here: Twentynine Palms of dumont. there is also a lot of french (and other) directors, dealing with it - Claire Denise (specially in L'Intrus), Van sant (Elephant), Chabrol (Wounded man...), kubrick's shining... and sure, there's a lot more. some are more, some less intensive or however aiming the topic anyways. ok, there's much more to write and maybe i could be more precise, but for now it's ok.. have to do some other stuff. i hope it will become my, and ours, moreorless daily praxis .. this writing.. sorry for my mistakes and awkward english... i usually dont use capitals and '. anne, nice to meet you.. kindof Miha hmm.. Touching seems straight and opened enough, so might work.
