| Sinopsis: |
Starting from the continuous filming of a clock's display for two minutes,
the video was processed in a realtime-programming-environment for video .
the individual frames were then printed on paper and subsequently redrawn frame by frame in
charcoal and oil paint. scanned back, the frames were animated as the final video.
this video was commissioned for the "Essays on Radio: Can I have 2 minutes of your time?"
compilation produced by the media label Crónica (www.cronicaelectronica.org) that
proposed all the audio and visual artists to reflect upon the technology and culture of radio in
the early 21st century media-scape.
the goal of this video was then to explore the idea of time in the crossing of analogue and digital
techniques: starting from 2 minutes, reducing the video to 6 single images and then expanding
it once again to 2 minutes, restoring the loss of quality introduced by the digital/mechanical
manipulation trough the use of diverse analogue/manual recreations of each discrete frame.
in the end, the symbolic representation of time is no longer readable
but time and the mechanisms for representing and capturing it are felt all along the piece. |
