Film text (excerpt):

What is that affect people the most:
Immediate or abstract things?
All the time it is this [this] feedback
this ping pong of ideas
Now, the ping pong again, can remain between you and me.
The ping pong can alter, acquire...
The ping poing acquires more dimension because we are recording it.
The ping pong acquires a further dimension
because more people now about it.
And have a vague idea of it and I know, I feel that they would like
to know more about it.
The ping pong require a bigger bigger bigger dimension.

Excerpt from In Re-vision by Stan VanDerBeek, 1966
(Another manifesto)

[...] I have emphasised that motion pictures are the unique form of the 20th century,
that they have produced a revolution in the worldwide aesthetics [...]
that cinema is just beginning to come into its own.
But to realise the possibilities of this new art form (cinema is only approximately 60 years old) many more artists and poets must become aware of this media and attempts to work with it.
I hope that artists from all over the world will do so.
And quickly so that we can realise and enjoy our differences in a culture-intercom. [...]

VIDEO 1:
Tate: Remixed Nick Makoha – Turner Prize
VISTA by Nick Parish
2.27 min

Transcript of Nick Makoha's poem:

Welcome back to the neighborhood.
From factory rooftops the ruins fade.

Adjust your set the static will clear.
We are close to the river where the evening has gathered.

In a dead-end alley, discarded cigarette carcasses glow on the pavement.
This dark night lacks direction, a broken skyline smolders in its distance.

I am one of the bystanders, heads bound in headphones.
Music heard without interruption is our common spark.

The ricocheting hums of trains through tunnels, sets the hand in motion.
Spray cans on the canvas of derelict walls will make us legend.

Paint smeared like oil on the chest finds its shape with a flick of the wrist.
Look at the origins of sentient formless life along this faceless mountain.

A cats cradle network of power lines in silhouette to the moon.
CCTV cameras crane their necks to give us an afterlife,

as laundry organizes itself in pairs on the clothesline. 
A seamless beat overlaps and fades stitching me to the world.

Watch the street lamp undress the darkness that moves like a body.
The body becomes song, an aria of light casting out shadows.

If you are one of us you know this vista, these characters these signs.
History is on the tips of our tongue, yet we are not in textbooks.

The sign says, No Talking. Listen to the opus, the anthem, the tune.
Do not adjust your speaker just change your point of view
