The passing of experimental giant Ken Jacobs (1933–2025) in October closed a remarkable creative arc that had stretched across more than seven decades. From visions born in New York’s underground to audiovisual readymades presented unaltered, from psychedelic revivals of early cinema to cutting-edge probes into perception, Jacobs’s career traced a counter-history of American culture – one built on the unexplored capacities of the cinematic apparatus.
