On a recent return flight from New Zealand, I recorded cloud footage at 11,000 feet from my window seat. I just sat there and marveled at the view for some time.
This treatment just required slowing the video to half speed and compose a relaxation soundtrack to fully appreciate the scene.

Take A Breath

While visiting my wife’s grandparents in New Zealand in the early 1990’s, we made video recordings to document our visit.
I was talking with them for a time while my wife, Marie, recorded them for posperity.
Almost 20 years later, it was discovered and not seen at the time, that an elderly woman was slowly walking behind our interview.
The idea of using this footage to be used as an installation video and it’s treatment was simple.
The method was to use two layers of the same video 5 seconds behind one another that ended with the elderly woman in a ghostly effect.

Spirits

Due to unavailable access to derelict buildings in the Yarra Valley and the inability to project audio visual light shows within these spaces, brings with it problematic situations as to where artistic visual creations can be presented.
While sourcing solutions, the result presented itself by sunlight reflecting onto a puddle outside, through a wire cage and finally onto a bedroom ceiling. A slight breeze gives the illusion of movement.
This combination gave the impression of a derelict warehouse wall.
By applying archive footage and reducing the opacity to 60% The end result was a faux warehouse projection.

Refraction

Cyber Punk is a genre of apocalyptic and pending doom, with fluorescent lighting effects.
Personal archival highway footage.
An iPhone with effects software.
A loop of particles as floating radiation. A little colour saturation.
Cyber Highway.

Cyber Hwy

As a young child, I watched the Apollo 11 moon landing on tv and have been fascinated ever since.
I married together archival NASA footage of the Apollo 11 landing with a simulated planet overlaid with an audio frequency video loop which coincides with the astronauts speaking.

Celestial

Cateract was an experimental video that was created on Hyperspektiv.
Cateract itself represents an informal array of effects that with the assistance of a late 1980’s bench top Black and White television, viewers were introduced to the illusion that they are looking at an electronic engineers “Oscilloscope” which was used for testing components such as Cathode Ray Tube televisions.

Ambient and synthesized soundscapes combined with archival narratives are treated to comprise a transformation as individual as we are.

Varied sound and vision melded together in a distopian atmosphere....that's me.
