first draft of my major work for formal systems this semester.
it’s a very simple study in structuralism - allowing a formal structure (static shots with 24 second cuts) to entirely dictate the contents of the frame.
colours still need a bit of fixing but it looks pretty nice on an LCD monitor. there’s a 720p copy available if you click through to my Vimeo page.
Doyle was commissioned by Melbourne Festival to create a large-scale public work. Part temporary architecture and part video projection, Ecstatic City is situated in the moat of the NGV International. Designed as a kind of ‘miniplex marina’, viewers can explore the site and take in some remarkable and refreshing video works that have been created by some of Australia’s great moving image-makers. These will be projected continuously each day of the Festival from 11am until midnight.
a few updates in a couple of weeks, just getting a few bits and pieces sorted out.
A short work of mine has been selected for the next Tape Projects DVD, and they’re having a launch party on Saturday 6 September at Tapespace, 1/81 Bouverie St, Carlton.
screenings, music, drinks, etc. come along and have some fun.
