Tourism

s229

The new storyboard continues the journey narrative. This segment comes after the Troubled Dreams on Plaza (8/11/14) and is followed by latter sequences: the Pilgrims (3/5/14), Fields (9/3/14) and Stage (9/11/14).

Soundscapes

a232

In an earlier entree we have explored mathematical approach towards creating audio component for our projects. Here we try another, more organic way of creating non-musical sounds. Various found clips such as radio songs and environmental recordings have been folded and layered on top of each other to create thick audio segments. These layers were than processed through a graphic equalizer where surprising discreet sonic accidents were amplified. The resulting tracks appear like the wall of sound, while the original material that it is derived from is mostly unrecognizable.

For the purposes of the Filmlog presentation, the tracks were combined with camera recordings from our video library. These incidental pairings turned out interesting and have opened a new direction for the development of the storyboards. Each storyboard could be accompanied with such simple non-narrative but atmospheric audio-video loop.

The Stage

s231

This segment continues the narrative started in the Pilgrims storyboard about three travelers on their journey to find the artist.

09/03/2014

 

Fields

s230

This narrative is a part of the same story arc started with Troubled Dreams on Plaza and Pilgrims storyboards, which follow a trio of travelers on their journey to find the artist.

Here we review locations that have been used in various Filmlog projects, and examine their impact on the work.

Geometric Sounds

a214

The audio component in various Heart of Perspective projects is mostly kept very simple and conceptually ambiguous. Here we experiment with sound and try to bring it closer to the geometric language that is featured so prominently in the project. The above examples are sound patterns created as simple MIDI sequences based on the Fibonacci numbers, which are employed first rhythmically and in later examples chromatically.

Fibonnaci numbers is a sequence of numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ,13 ,21, 34, 55 etc, where each following number is the sum of the previous two. The particular significance of the sequence is that it is closely related to the golden section: the ratio between each sequential pair of numbers approximates the golden ratio: 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5 etc. While the divine proportion has been one of the tenants of classic esthetics since the antiquity, it is also connected to the fractal geometry and touches on many themes closely related to Filmlog projects.

Web Site Redesign: Filmlog v3.0

After 10 years of using the Flash-based Version 2 interface, Filmlog has been redesigned to keep up with current trends in interactive design and user experience. With a decline in Flash support especially among mobile devices, we have decided to transfer Filmlog back to HTML/CSS/JS code base. Since large portion of the content was originally created in Flash, we still rely heavily on the use of Flash plugin. And this is still the best way to view this content. But now we also feature a video player alternative for platforms that do not allow the use of Flash. Last 10 years have seen a great increase of the bandwidth capacity in the general market. This allows us to show more video content and in better quality. The Version 3 has also been tweaked to adhere to the Responsive Web Design approach and make the web site work well across all viewing platforms.

Science Fiction: New Death

Exhibition: September 13 - November 24, 2013; Fact, Liverpool, UK

The exhibition was curated by Omar Kholeif and Mike Stubbs, and based on writing by China Mieville.
The Target Orbit animation was exhibited together with 16 related prints. The work was created within the frame of the European Culture Programme 2007-2013 and Liverpool Biennial.
