Universe Energies Sustain Us

A video collage about light, air and language, the materials and processes we use to communicate and survive. Explores the translation and regulation of data by the body and technology; the aesthetics and consequences of error; the relationships of transparency and difference; problems of image order and presentation, identity, authenticity, feedback and loss, copyright and ownership, access and denial, time, space, speed and memory. Composed of recycled sequences of abstract animation and performance video (sourced from 'Cold Tape', 'Myeyeye', 'Enter', 'Island', 'Walk', 'Play' and 'Letters'), together with documentation of the imaging process, and incidental, ambient and appropriated material. Originally shown in a spoonful of water, then as a 7-channel video installation, and then as a single channel projection. With electronic music by Scottish artist Norman Shaw. (RI)
