At the Fast End of the Fast-Slow Continuum
Posted by Erik | Filed under Music, Video
This piece was conceived of as an artistic expression of the notion that those species which live fast also die young. Time compression—roughly one month in six minutes—exposes the relentless 24-hour commuter drive into downtown Chicago, beneath an unnatural forest of light posts and a smoggy skyline. The piece was created in support of the International Day of Climate Action (24/10/2009), in evidence of current conditions contributing to global warming.
At the Fast End of the Fast-Slow Continuum is an experimental time-based video made using custom Max/MSP/Jitter patches to sample and reconstitute a streaming media source. (2009)
