Video art

'Big Bang Theory 2'
Features an extreme slo-motion shot of a man spitting out a pacifier with a mouth full of water. Glints and sparkles make the drops of water appear like stars bursting across the universe in this take on the birth of life, time and everything. The pacifier takes a journey across space to meet its maker.

'Conversation Pit
Features an extreme slo-motion mouth that opens then yells...then closes and moves away from camera. The audio is such that an odd dynamic is created between what we see and hear.

'Occupational Hazard'
Features a blending of a series of anonymous portrait photos from a school yearbook. They blend and mix to make new creations. What became of these people?

The 8.50'
Simple treated DV footage of a crowd walking to camera. Slowed and smeared, they appear ghostly and non existent.

'6.30 Kyoto'
Features a throng of commuters pouring down a stairway in smeared motion who then disappear completely.

'Pianola'
Features an abstracted pianola roll that slides out of time with each row. The words slide out of time breaking linear narrative as the words are spoken in Japanese.
• Performed at eScapes in 2005.

'Line'
Features a series of similar shots of the horizon line where ocean meets sky. Shot by director Sean Obrien on random days over a couple of years. The shots a merely faded together to create a split sky ocean plate that changes ever so slowly.

'Vert'
Features a shaft of blue light that appears to be born from the audio.


- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

'Where there's smoke'
Features a ball of smoke that shrinks to nothing against black. As its so smooth and slow, the view is trans fixed thinking that nothing is happening.
• Used at an eScapes gallery performance.
