Dreaming of Lucid Living


Myth and Infrastructure.

As Matreyek walks behind the screen, her shadow becomes an integral part of the projected animation: She curls up to become an island in a creation/mythology tableau; she walks gently through a sleeping cityscape; her hands create magical strings of light as she conjures domestic scenes in shadow and video.||2010||

Océanes


::Océanes is part of a continuing series of videomusic works exploring the aesthetic potential of particle based computer generated imagery. Analogous to granular sound processing, particle synthesis allows for the creation and control of complex materials using an large number of very small components. Sound and image coordination does not explicitely use synchresis as a discursive device but aims for an elevated relation based on metaphor and emotional detachment, as if contemplating a field of images from a distant perspective.::

Color.Control

“I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium. Video for me is a way of configuring light, just as painting is a way of configuring paint….I’ve always said that the most important control on your TV is the color control; it’s usually a much bigger difference than changing the channel.”

-Brian Eno

The Wobbulator

A short demo video on the Wobbulator. It was originally made in the 1970's by Nam June Paik and video engineer Shuya Abe. I was curious why there wasn't a lot of information out there concerning it since it's such a great piece of equipment. Most of the Wobbulator's source images in this video were either from a camera pointed out a window, or just from straight video feedback.

Origamibiro

Imagine music and video playing a game together. And telling stories at the same time. That's what it's like to experience a performance by audio-visual collective Origamibiro.

The collaborative trio merge found objects, unorthodox contraptions, multi instrumentalism and persistence of vision to create an atmosphere both nostalgic and otherworldly.
