Hey Michael and others interested in Conceptual movies,
I am working right now on a project called "Videos To Be Constructed
in Your Head" which will be an installation that is just that - sets
of instructions inviting viewers to construct videos in their heads.
This will exist as large scale wall and floor text, and an
accompanying booklet with instruction pieces and an essay. This
piece is inspired by Yoko Ono's 1962 "Paintings To Be Constructed in
Your Head." See her book "Grapefruit." She also wrote several film
scripts.
Not much information here yet, but you'll get a sense of what I do:

I'd like to know more about your research, email me off the list at
email suppressed or (address suppressed)
Best,
Julie Perini
