JGLNG
Director
In JGLNG, Blumberg achieves a graphic visual composition that cunningly encircles both abstraction and documentation. With an economy of means, he renders the ordinary extraordinary, superimposing two recorded images of a single event -- a juggler juggling.
Me's and Youse
A wonderful and humorous example of early image processing, Parry Teasdale and Carol Vontobel perform to camera as their faces are morphed together, forming an image of one person. The exercise is repeated by Nancy Cain and Skip Blumberg as the music speeds up.
