PAM: A Ramble with Time
A Ramble with Time chronicles the adventures of Paul Desborough, time traveller as he sets out to understand the mysterious concept of "infinity". Using everyday plastic bags as a vehicle to travel interdimensionally, he must battle against the evil time thief and time keepers who are on a quest to possess the pagan manifestation of infinity itself as described in a simple ball of thread. What he discovers along the way is truly surprising. Filmed in Berlin in 2009. Directed and edited by Shiva Lynn Burgos.

PAM: Broken Windows
Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder - these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image itself; the degradation of the image broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video’s constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the image as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can’t - or don’t want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder, as we do here.

PAM: Test Anthem
198 national anthems from the world’s countries arranged in a vertical, symmetrical stack. Played for the duration with bell curve as defined parameter with demarcation line representing point of departure to the - unattainable? The longest – Uraguay’s begins and ends the audio with a nice, loping intro. The shortest anthem from Qatar comes in a mere 36 seconds and is sandwiched directly in the middle with most others as most anthems come in at a minute or less. I was curious to see if at the apex, beyond the expected dissonant sounds on the sides of the curve, there might be almost a pure, white nose. Static. It comes close though. Based on government tests (atomic blasts, plane military test crashes) we are taken through a test – this time with themes closer to the human condition: want, desire, and spiritual transcendence if you will. The parameters are already set though. Could be construed as ultimately fatalistic and pessimistic. That’s possible. A faux set-up complete with anticipating flashes as in the batter’s home run hit or porn’s standard ‘money shot’.

PAM: Princess Diana's Soul Carriage
In a spectrally damaged reference to television’s favorite canceled dance party, Soul Train, Princess Diana’s Soul Carriage features multidimensional dancers in an otherworld landscape comprised of footage borrowed from F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu and Paul Sharits’s Word Film. The dancers, flanked by two rows of dancing Princess Diana simulacra, move through space-time to a warbling, psychedelic soundtrack of the supernatural. This video was originally part of Nightmare City’s self-published TV-straight-to-DVD show, The Pixie Troll Witch Hour: Into the 3 A.M. Void with Carol Anne and Keturah (2009).
Artists: Nightmare City.
