Dallas video artist Greta Poulsen’s work in “Pinched”  turns the process of animation on its head.  Instead of chaining many slightly different still images to create the illusion of motion, Poulsen starts with video footage and programs only the parts that move into individual frames.  The result is an entirely new take on the original sampled material—sort of “Nude Descending a Staircase” meets Jacques Derrida.
