About Grand Detour
Grand Detour is an emerging microcinema and experimental media organization committed to supporting,
enhancing, and connecting the community of new media artists in Portland and beyond. Currently
hosting screenings and curating video work across the city, we see ourselves as Portland’s hub for
innovative video and media-related artworks. Situating ourselves at the forefront of Portland’s burgeoning
new media scene, Grand Detour exists as a haven for underground artists, digital methods classes,
installations, and community discourse.

About celluloid.mov
celluloid.mov is a multichannel video/film installation designed by members of Grand Detour. It features
video manipulations by Salise Hughes (Seattle, WA), and Evan Meaney (Knoxville, TN), in addition to
16mm footage by Dan Klockenkemper (Portland, OR). celluloid.mov opens at PSU’s Littman Gallery
September 1st, 2011 and will play through the month.

The piece will exist as an analog/digital hybrid utilizing digital projectors and 16mm film. Through close
juxtaposition and superimposition, the simultaneous presentation of both formats will create an analog/
digital hybrid that explores the intrinsic formalities of the two mediums while pushing the experimental
boundaries of each.

The foundation of the piece is a ~40 second film loop playing through two different 16mm projectors
casting images on opposite walls inside the gallery. The manipulated footage will be projected on
walls adjacent to the the corresponding film image. These videos will alternate with unadulterated and
manipulated video of the film loop superimposed over the celluloid image.
