About Joe

Baltimore City
Joe Reinsel uses video, and sound to explore ideas about architectural space, time, and touch. His creative work continues to considers interaction and the environment and each work investigates different facets of communication such as video work for public installation, collective storytelling, and interactive exhibitions. He is the recipient of grants from The Flint Public Art Project, International Society of Electronic Arts, Maryland State Arts Council, Baltimore Museum of Art, New York… more

Resonations Series 1

â??Resonationsâ?

To generate the these printes I first created videos by connecting a low voltage electrical signal from an audio synthesizer (+ or â?? 5 volts) to the input of a video signal generator. The result created a series of undulating bands on the screen images except that it was black and white. I then used another piece of equipment that was connected to the output of the video signal generator to shift the color values.
The footage for â??Resonationsâ? was created as a studio performance and recorded to video tape.

These were then printed as 22-36 inch digital prints on archival luster paper.

Resonations Series

These works are created from sound. The analog synthesizer that I used to generate the sine waves allowed me to connect a low voltage signal (+ or – 5 volts) to a video signal generator. The result was similar to the prints, except that it was black and white. I then used another analog video device that was connected to the output of the video signal generator to shift the color values. The material was recorded as video in a studio performance. To construct the prints, I digitized the video and selected individual video frames. I then processed and printed (26 X 40 inch) the video frames on archival paper.  They were created while in residence at Experimental Television Center, in NY state.

Threshold Circuit

Balancing visual and sound elements between distortion and clarity, I created Threshold Circuit. Viruses (biological and electrically) manipulate information and our bodies everyday and I want to visually describe that â??teeteringâ? moment between clarity and confusion.

Deck

“Deck” was created to explore a “non-electronic” experiment of creating an animation using thin simple lines. In “Deck” I used a portable video camera and “danced” across a backyard deck keeping the camera lense focused on the deck’s floor.
The music for this piece has similar purpose to “Lim.1”, to immerse the audience into the fast movements by using the constrasting, slow moving sounds.
