Notes to Self is an ongoing series of videos documenting a simple, repetitive act as a way to mimic our fleeting engagement with social media status updates. Fragments of text, in the form of notes to myself, are set on fire with varying degrees of success. Unlike social media updates, the fate of these updates is controlled and finite, existing only for a few seconds before being completely destroyed. The notes, which range from humourous reminders and revelations to recollections about larger societal events, are simple in both form and execution, allowing for a critical and considered viewing response.

WINDOW-CINE is open 24 hours a day, showing silent films (or sound films silently) in our window at 1200 N Alvarado St.
Now showing: Frente a Frente by Caitlin Díaz @shinykid , a dual projection 16mm film she made while an artist-in-residence at EPFC in 2016. Caitlin is working on a new film commissioned by us with a grant from the @mike_kelley_foundation , so keep an eye out for a potential instagram takeover by her as she works on eco-processing over the next couple months.
We’ll be changing up the selection every other week or so. So stop by if you’re out for a walk in the neighborhood and watch a film!
