Test: Kinesis-A Strategy of Motion
|
||||
|
"...is
a site-specific experiment, where the static and kinetic are forced
to coexist in a volatile sensory environment. Striking a balance
between visual harmony and cognitive dissonance, this environment
aims to reconstruct perceptual experience in a physical context.
Test: relies on a frenetic array of technology to project animated
sequences of still photographs. As the distinctions between the
still image and motion picture become less obvious, streams of new
visual patterns and narratives begin to emerge. Dense fields of
sound are then generated live, transforming perception into visceral
sensation. These elements in unison create intricately textured
meanings based on forceful juxtaposition. Test: Kinesis-A Strategy
of Motion is our latest installation-performance, focused on piercing
the threshold of sense and cognition. "
Kinesis was the first experiment with using animated slide sequences. The control system involved a composed score that was created using Macromedia Director. This score played through a serial interface which controlled a bank of relays to trigger the forward and reverse actions of the individual slide projectors. 2 screens were used for the slide images with a 3rd screen in the middle showing a video textural layer. Kinesis debuted at Cell Space in San Francisco. It's structure used 2 screens at oposite ends of the room to ensure different experience for different audience members.
