Apologies - this has nothing to do with Japan or David but I've not been able to get a decent answer elsewhere so I thought I might try this forum...
Yesterday I went to an art exhibition of Philippe Parreno, a French filmmaker. He showcased two new films - 'Marilyn' and 'Continuously Habitable Zaones'. With your entry ticket you received a free DVD. The leaflet of the exhibition states "At the museum entrance visitors receive a DVD containing both films so that they can carry the exhibition out of the musuem space. On the DVD the two films feautre a musical soundtrack bu Arto Lindsay. These versions sound different from the exhibited films, just as memory can differ from reality. After the DVD has been viewed, the films erase themselves".
Both films - but especially Marilyn left a immense impression on me... It's long since I've been captivated by a (short) movie I've not yet tried the DVD. My question is - how is it possible the 'films erase themselves'. I'm guestimating there must be some type of locking feature... but how does it work and more importantly - how can it be unlocked? I've got both an Apple MacBook Pro and a Windows machine... Anyone knows?
By the way - Philippe Parreno is the guy who made the Zinedine Zidane movie - where they followed him for 24 hours...
