German video artist Marcus Kreiss created art for urban spaces and made large paintings. He played with the idea of going back to film again since he had studied filmmaking in Rome (Cinecitta) before he finished his fine art studies in Aix-en-Provence. After he lost his studio he decided to combine both sides in what he calls video paintings. From this idea sprouted the television channel Souvenirs from Earth, a fascinating cable TV station broadcasting a 24/7 art program. It transforms flat screens into art terminals and gives viewers access to the avant-garde of visual cultures.
In the above mini documentary by Kiki Allgeier, Kreiss explains some more about the channel. The below video shows one of his works titeld “Glibberings”. The video, featuring Isabel Ruzafa, illustrates his personal approach of the video paintings concept. He explores the physical possibilities of the bi dimensional space of the flat screen by using hypnotic and often iconic images in extreme slow motion.

The colour orange is named after the appearance of the ripe orange fruit. The word comes from the Old French orenge, from the old term for the fruit, pomme d’orenge. That name comes from the Arabic naranj, through the Persian naranj, derived from the sanskrit naranga (Orange Tree). Before this word was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to as ġeolurēad (yellow-red). The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1512,in a will now filed with the Public Record Office.

Before the late 15th century, the colour orange existed in Europe, but without the name; it was simply called yellow-red. Spanish and Portuguese merchants brought the first orange trees to Europe from Asia in the late 15th and early 16th century, along with the sanskrit name “naranga,” which gradually became “orange” in English.
