Ira Sachs - Last Address

Last Address, 2010
A Film by Ira Sachs

The list of New York artists who died of AIDS over the last 30 years is countless, and the loss immeasurable. Last Address uses images of the exteriors of the houses, apartment buildings, and lofts where these and others were living at the time of their deaths to mark the disappearance of a generation. The film is a remembrance of that loss, as well as an evocation of the continued presence of these artists work in our lives and culture.

Arthur Russell - 437 E. 12TH ST. (film still)

When sound is introduced to a gas filled tube, it pushes out more of the gas where the wave peaks, resulting in a sound wave of fire.
The video demonstrates how the Ruben’s tube responded to different sound inputs: iPod, microphone and guitar and with a circular shaped tube.
