Video art for plasma screens.
“Video replaces Paintings !™”. The increasing popularity of plasma screens opens a world of potential beyond TV and computer content. With plasma displays, video art, images and sound, can be discreetly hung on the wall along with traditional art media. Souvenirs from the earth provides “content for home or public entertainment systems, especially flat screens, and take commissions for special interior designs. Our films are 100% narrative free with strong visual aesthetics. They come normally as programmed DVDs meant to play in the system for hours or days.” The autolooped DVDs are available in PAL or NTSC and vary in length from 7 to 70 minutes.
