You read correctly, this month's visiting filmmaker legally changed his name to
tENTATIVELY a cONVENIENCE in 1976. Self-described as a Mad Scientist, Sound Thinker,
Thought Collector, and Low Classicist among many others, filmmaker and conceptual
artist tENTATIVELY a cONVENIENCE has made 344 movies. The films have covered a broad
range of genres: 'materialist', documentary, experimental, structuralist, narrative,
multi-projection, and many more.
A person of many talents, tENT (for short) remains difficult to classify. Numerous
projects have included
Street with a View which introduces fiction into the world of Google Street
Maps and the Blatnerphone Hallucinomat - a sound mixing machine that uses tapes,
radio, and other noises intended for street performing.
