I / VII :: BLOOM :: AN INTERACTIVE TRACK ARTWORK

Each sound element of the track is isolated from the other and is deconstructed, dematerialized and contracted into the only fragments absolutely necessary to outline the overall structure in question. These fragments are the essential components selected from the music composition: bass line, drums and vocals. 

The artwork is a result of a process of dematerialization into pieces, where elements of sound are dismantled to be recreated in different formal elements, that are overlaid again. 

 II / VII :: MORNING MR. MAGPIE :: BOARD GAME

 III / VII :: LITTLE BY LITTLE :: A NOMAD'S HOUSE

Little by Little capsule could be identified as a minimal nomad's house that can be inflated and plugged anywhere in the city. 

The plan shows a possible organization of the interior capsule layout unit. One constituent part is the enclosure. It forms the envelope and support for the structure and other apparatus. The other part is the negative space created by the movement of the inflated shell, where programmatic functions are allocated.

The dark’s there
The pillar of my soul
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the spell

Little by little by hook or by crook
I’m such a tease and you’re such a flirt
Once you’ve been around you’ve been around enough

Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I don’t know where it is I should look

You could want it all, the flag and pole
I’m curling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the seal

Obligations
Complications
Routines and schedules
A job that’s killing you
Killing you

Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I don’t know where it is I should look

Little by little by hook or by crook
I am such a tease, and you’re such a flirt

IV / VII :: FERAL :: CLOCK

The interaction happens in the series of moments creating a musical sequence. This sequence brings in the time factor. The music is captured in a series of continuous shots.

The rhythm of the shots is constant throughout the track. It defines the dimension of the space through time.

Feral is a timeless watch that translates seconds, minutes and hours into 3 circular loops.

V / VII :: LOTUS FLOWER :: VISUALIZATION

The inevitable intrusion of bodies into the controlled order frames comes into perspective when we start to perceive these images as substance, beyond the material outline of a body and the physicality of a space.

In the process, I focus on the energy, the movement, and the light in the frames to translate the moving images into abstract forms. 

Lotus Flower is a one frame continuous 2D visualization of the moving body. 

VI / VII :: CODEX :: PRINT

VII / VII :: GIVE UP THE GHOST

OK. 

VIII / VII :: SEPERATOR :: ANIMATION STORYBOARD

The plot has no location, just a black space where settings are delineated by minimalist lines. The stage on which the events play out is very theatrical, with chalk lines indicating landscape, a few spare pieces of furniture and bare trees marking the only three dimensional objects in the flat world of Separator. The animation employs designed lighting to suggest natural effects such as the moving shadows, and sound effects are used to create the presence of non-existent set pieces.
