Digital Snow is a comprehensive DVD-ROM collection devoted to the works of experimental filmmaker/artist Michael Snow. A virtual encyclopedia of Snow's works, Digital Snow features original interviews, video excerpts, musical extracts, rare documentaries and records for over 700 of his works. In addition to the extensive DVD-ROM material, this collection includes two catalogs with introductory texts, an outline of the main principles in Snow's work, content summaries, instructions, and more, with texts in English and French.

Digital Snow is an application for exploring Michael Snow's work, as well as an educational and didactic tool. It allows you to discover the works of one of the most significant artists in contemporary art and cinema of the past 50 years.

Based on an excerpt from the 1974 film Rameau's Nephew by Diderot (Thanx Dennis Young) by Wilama Schoen, the Table Sequence is used as a Table of Contents and incorporates the intuitive metaphor of the computer desktop in which the object IS the search criterion.

The search engine linked to the database contains 4,685 entries on the artist's works, all media taken together. Some of your keyboard's keys will allow you quick access to about 60 video excerpts such as clips from So Is This, Wavelength and La Region Centrale, as well as more than 47 musical extracts, more than 30 reconstitutions or presentations of installations such as Two Sides to Every Story, and an entire section devoted to the Walking Woman works.

Six interfaces give you access to the complete contents, as well as original interviews and rarely seen documentaries. Records for more than 700 works - pictorial, sculptural, photographic, audio and musical - can thus be accessed through the various interfaces.
