VIDEO AND PERFORMANCE

The wonders of the moving image... These are a variety of projects that usually stem from experiments and process, with a focus on formal concerns of sound and image. Rhythms occur in repeating sounds and visual patterns playing with intensities and texture.

RHYTHM AND MOVEMENT

Rhythm and movement are endemic to time-based media at the level of the frame or sample, where images and samples begin and collect over sample or frame rate to create sound and motion.  Rhythm and movement are also expressive and relational to the body, both in practice (walking, dance, etc.), as well as psycho-physiologically (heart rate, blinking, muscular activity/movement, etc.)  Artists have explored these sensorial and bodily occurrences in expressive forms as different media technologies have encouraged or inspired.

INTENSITY IN AUDIO-VISUAL STRUCTURE

The power to pull you in, hold your attention, make you “feel”, and create and build dramatic structure?  Intensity.  Intensity is directly related to the level of energy expressed or modeled through a system.  For example, we can think of the amount of energy required to produce different volumes from a stereo speaker, the voltage sent to a light or the amount of energy required with different kinds of physiological activity, such as sleeping or dancing. 

Varying intensities create dramatic shape and are cognitive attractors.  In vision, psychological studies show that it is not color, but contrasts in light intensities that are important in the perception of movement, depth, perspective and movement.
