To promote my online exhibition ‘A Low Resolution Resonance’ at thewrong.tv I'm posting some loops of my work from the last 10 years.
This loop is from States (2014). Although I don’t remember a great about making it, I can see many elements from previous works such as Describing a Space and future pieces such as Austerity Cycle, present in it. During this period I would create much of the video material in my Tachyons+ video synth, isolate any textures I found interesting then composite them in After Effects to create a tableu, generally without any traditional narrative arc.
I’m not a story teller, so I find the question of how to temporally construct an animation a challenge. I would often use a kind of entropic framework in which to place the work. That is, over time slowly build up a series of images, allow them to exist and interact for a period, then slowly begin to deconstruct them. I was also fascinated with the idea of constructing a 3D image in 2D space which I think is why I chose to make the image slowly recede.
In its composition the work tries to illustrate the idea of a chain of information or perception filters, something I later took into work such as Figure Study II in an attempt to describe how the mind and external spaces interact.
More of my work can be seen from 15th Oct online at the excellent thewrong.tv
