    The specific works that I am looking at are part of an untitled series within the Compressed Cinema by Casey Reas, titled "No. Nothing", "Kiss me.", "I withdraw.", "Two dead!", and "Not now. No, no." all of the pieces are short videos, with constantly changing images and audio in the background of each one. The audio was created by Jan St. Werner. Each of these videos is accompanied by several still images of various frames that are played in the warped footage from each of these videos. It should be noted that the digital format presented on the website is stated to not be the ideal presentation of these works, as they are intended to be seen in individual, sound-isolated rooms.
