My Videos
I made twelve videos since I moved back to Istanbul in April 2006. You can see some of them on YouTube (by clicking here) but they ALL depend heavily on pixellation and on video artifacts so the best ways to see them are mini-DV or DVD. I would be more than happy to send a DVD compilation if you're curious.
The titles are (in chronological order): on my way to boston, august 16th, september 1st, september 4th, october 12th, emirgan park, vauxhall bridge, dead-end for straightseers, tompkins square park, rainbow-wall, artifacts, time runs
Below are three videos I made in September 2005, all around one minute. If you have any comments please let me know...

snow in new york consists of seven videos edited on August 2005. The footage for the videos was shot during Michael Snow's lecture at Eyebeam, New York, in May 2005. The series was my first attempt at "experimental editing" and I had no idea how the images would appear on the big screen or TV so I edited all of it based on the image that was on the LCD screen of my Canon Optura Xi camera. I still like it best, by far, as a mini-DV seen on that small LCD screen. Some of the videos completely depend on the interlacing effects so they do not survive at all on the computer monitor. If you're curious, I'll be more than happy to send you a mini-DV tape. The seven titles included in snow in new york are: mouthful, untitled, untitled 2, digital ways of doing, color correction, I_MIT, and michael's nose. Here are a few of those:
untitled 2 (Silent, Quicktime, 7.8 MB)

I apologize for the file sizes. I see from my logs that many people try viewing these videos and can't because their connection is lost before it's done. My suggestion would be to download them to your computer and open them afterwards, it's faster that way. Also, I'm trying my best to compress the files and make them smaller but they don't mean much when they lose some of their most essential aspects, so at the moment my only hope is that people will do their best to get them. In my opinion they're at least worth seeing, they wouldn't be up here otherwise.
