No No Nooky T.V.
Barbara Hammer
1987, 11:52 min, color, sound, 16 mm film on HD video

No No Nooky T.V. confronts the feminist controversy around sexuality with electronic language, pixels and interface. Even the monitor is eroticized in this film/video hybrid that pokes fun at romance, sexuality, and love in our post-industrial age.

No Re
Seoungho Cho
2023, 7:14 min, b&w and color, sound, HD video

No Sleep Till...
LoVid
2004, 2:55 min, color, sound

LoVid composes a strobing synesthetic landscape of image and sound that is equal parts glitchy animation and input from an analog synthesizer. The piece sees the collision of two visual worlds, whose complementary movements create an at times overwhelming juxtaposition and at others unexpected harmony.

Nocturne
Peggy Ahwesh 
1998, 30 min, b&w, sound, 16 mm film on video

Nocturne, writes Ahwesh, is "a psychological horror film built on the conflicts of a woman tortured by the ambiguity between reality and illusion, dream and desire."

Not a Jealous Bone
Cecelia Condit
1987, 10:24 min, color, sound

A magical bone that promises eternal life propels the story of Not a Jealous Bone, a post-Freudian fairy tale in the guise of a musical narrative. An eighty-two-year-old woman in search of her mother and a beautiful young woman struggle over the life-extending magic bone. Condit holds an...

Notions of Freedom
Ulysses Jenkins
2007, 15:47 min, color, sound

In Notions of Freedom, Jenkins charts the history of jazz—what he calls “the first true American art form"—from its beginnings in New Orleans and the American South to the classic work of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington and through the major innovations of Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, and Miles...

Novel City
Leslie Thornton
2008, 7:40 min, color, sound

In her new work, Thornton confronts the economic and cultural transformation of contemporary China, evoking the spectacle of capitalism run amok. Creating a layered landscape of alienation and dislocation, Thornton shoots from her window of the Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai, the site of Mao's 1972 meeting with Nixon, and revisits her 1983 film Adynata, itself an exploration of Orientalism and the Other.

Now
Lynda Benglis 
1973, 12 min, color, sound

Now takes on video's claims to immediacy and authenticity, as Benglis juxtaposes live performance with her own prerecorded image. The soundtrack features phrases such as "now!" and "start recording," commands that usually ground us in the present, but here serve to deepen the confusion between live signals and mediation. Repeated takes and acidic color processing heighten this challenge to video's power of "liveness."

Now I'm Turning to Face You
Rea Tajiri
1982, 6:50 min, color, sound

Tajiri combines classic cinematic moments with her own text, slyly juxtaposing the power of the viewer's anonymous machinations with the illusions created by the magicians of cinema — both located out of sight, just behind the curtain/screen.
