This piece is done with multiple video cameras recording simultaneously with slightly altered angles and perspectives from an interior window space upon a street scene over the course of an evening. The cameras’ recordings are controlled by the sensing of motion. [..]
“Modernity’s development of transport and communication technologies industrialize space – one of the effects this produces is vision in motion, i.e., motion space. As a pervasive sensory phenomenon, motion space has extensive aesthetical, social, and ideological ramifications.” [..]
Commenting upon the basic ability of structural vision to apprehend and distinguish shapes and luminosity, the generation of abstract patterns challenges the viewer to perceive legible patterns and imagery. [..]
