ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:
Forever naive, from Sesame Street, to IMAX, Ed Ackerman has explored experimental cinematic language, with what is close at hand: plasticine, photocopier, typewriter or five year old children let loose on a village with disposable cameras. Films include Sarah’s Dream, 5¢ a copy, Primiti Too Taa, Too Taa Two, and Innocent Vision.
Wilda WahnWitz got mesmerized by art seven years ago after creating crazy computer sounds in her spare time. From 2004-2010 she invented psychedelic and disturbing video art and video performances with the late, Christine Grüter from Emden, Germany. Together they formed MultiMediaGuerrilla. MultiMediaGuerrilla is also the name of the video styling Wilda invented with the aim of opening minds by filling them to the extreme with insane sights and sounds and a kind of dada performing until people break out into something new. Wilda has also been developing something she calls Viral Arts which she discovered through audiences infectious reactions to her spontaneous performances of Power Blubbing.
