“CEDAR CREEK (-27.322, 152.78)” Is a 5 minute video captured using a SAMSUNG GEAR 360. It displays 360* of this site. The audio has been captured using the ZOOM H2 digital audio recorder, using the 4-Chanel audio setting (meaning that the audio has been captured in all directions). This equipment was used to capture the site in the highest quality possible, to ensure the most immersive experience.
During this project I had to begin recording the equipment, then flee the scene for a total of 5 minutes. During the editing process I cropped the start and finish to exclude any human interaction with the scene.
Layered over the original video is a digital distortion effect which mimics the static from a television. The effect cascades various colours horizontally downwards, mimicking the flickering and descending qualities of a waterfall. The intention is to bring nature into the gallery space, allowing viewers to spectate the visual and auditory qualities of the site, while also drawing connections to digital influences.
The waterfall and the static is intended to assimilate one and other. The distorted visuals flicker over the the sight of trees, movement of clouds and water.
This frame shown above is the front screen of a two screen installation. The final install will have both screens aligned across from one and other in a portrait orientation. The 4 speakers will be positioned in each corner, surround in the seated space with sound.
