Reflections: Between Object and Image

Here's one of the videos I've edited to go into my documentation. The short videos I filmed a while ago on my phone but wasnt too sure what i was going to do with them, I made them into GIFs and really liked the aesthetic of it. Because Ive been looking at projections Ive been thinking about projecting a video so decided to try the GIFs I made, when I was watching the videos back I could see a slight reflection of my myself within the image and thought it might work quite well together. I liked that it was a different way for me to layer images and video leading on from what i learnt from the 'between object and image' workshop. I also really liked how when you filmed a screen it would create lines and colours against the pixels on the screen so I decided to film the screen with my reflection to create a 'selfie'. These were only small experiments and I didnt intend them to be used towards anything but really liked how they turned out. These arent the fully edited versions because it was too large to upload but the fully edited will be made into a smaller screen (cutting out the writing from a screenshot video program I used as my video editing software wouldnt take GIFs) and with no audio.

Through editing the video and pausing sections I found really nice still images that capture the screen and the reflections on it. Again Im not sure what il use these towards...

into the colorflow from Jonathan McCabe on Vimeo.

'Three processes interact to make this animation. A spontaneous differentiation due to a multi-scale Turing instability causes the development of dots and lines of various colors. Each color is also a movement, leading to a compressible flow which smears and obliterates the dots and lines. The third process is an overall exponential growth or inflation. Small structures expand, and the Turing instability causes sub-structures to form.'

These are a couple of videos i took in the lecture, they arent too clear so ive taken some from youtube. By far my favourite is 3 legged!

Texture and Light GIF Videos

Just some short videos i created using texture, opacity and light. At first i uploaded them into images which turned them into GIFs which i actually quite like, i also uploaded them as videos at the bottom just to see the whole clip.

I wanted to record the sound of walking in sand as a result of my body touching the material to create an outcome. It just sounds so nice and reminds you of holidays and nice things, ive looked a little at the sounds material can make when reacting to a movement of the body. This was just a quick video to document the sound. Also what was weird was as i was still walking on the beach, i played the video again and my legs were moving in exactly the same steps which confused me and i nearly fell over, good times.

After the group talk at our exhibition week i got a lot of comments about my work looking like deep sea fish or other worldly type creatures. I dont know if its just an odd coincidence but recently i have been watching a lot of Blue Planet with David Attenborough. I love the idea of the sea and the strange creatures living there but the thought of being in the sea with these animals or just being in open water really freaks me out. I didnt intentionally make my work resemble sea creatures but just before i took a lot of short videos of documentaries because i loved the colours ans movements, also the cool sound effects, on the 2nd link to my instagram, made it seem like an episode of star trek, soo funny! Just imagine the sounds of my zebra finches are space monsters or something...
