looks at the challenge of keeping an abstract idea insight: losing it, finding it, losing it again, and keeping interferences at bay. The central recurring image is the word REVOLUCIÓN. It remains visible only for a few seconds at a time, and becomes obliterated by pedestrians passing by, traffic, and various other ‘distractions’. It serves as a metaphor for the grand ideas and concepts we have in our lives that give us orientation, at times turning into dogma, or serving as something that calls to be challenged. Interruptions and interventions are necessary as “breathing space” for developing both concrete solutions to the ‘grand’ idea as well as possible alternatives.

Three separate and joined projections are created live and randomly from a database of clips timed so that they either revolve in the space one at a time emphasizing the circular motion/revolutions, or at times occur simultaneously, or in pairs.  Max/Jitter programming thanks to Martin Slawig/blackhole-factory Germany.

Sound by Brent Lee, with Nicholas Papador on marimba and other percussion instruments:
diegetic sound from the video (mixed evenly between four speakers), composed marimba motives (isolated in individual speakers), and processed percussive sound samples (slowly rotating through the four speakers situated around the gallery space). All of the sound samples are triggered through a controlled random setup in Max MSP; the overall sonic texture remains fairly static but the details are constantly shifting.
