Two proposals for The Spectacle. V1 to right (tentatively titled Desert + Rose, sample clip), experiments with an animated procedural rose between the cycle of day and night, between the East and West. V2 (BalloonDogPurple sample clip) is an extension of my Concealment series, and would bring in more balloon shapes, to bump along in the spiky space.

From artist statement: Non-existent landscapes rendered in realtime through a game engine, weather data applied to in-scene effects, making each sliver of a moment unique. The work explores delusion, between the familiar and unfamiliar, high mobility and paralysis, connectedness and isolation.

The work is akin to slow cinema or tv: viewers see scenes stripped of narrative and come to depend on contextual cues. Nothing happens in the sense of plot, instead the screen frames an experience. Ambient media art takes hints from structural film and disturbs our relationship with the everyday. Loops fold back into themselves, are experienced and associated with others, unfolding as new experiences. These composite memories layer onto other memories, and corrupt anew.
