Bracketed Clone Fold is an interactive video installation that was exhibited for Under The Gun at the RMIT School of Art Gallery, Melbourne, in October 2008.
The camera and projector are connected to a MacBook Pro, which runs a purpose-built VDMX project. The DV camera records 30 seconds of video, which is then played back over the projector, while the next 30 seconds is captured, creating what is essentially a controlled feedback loop.
The piece began as a study of analog video disintegration - how the image quality of a piece of video would degrade over time if re-recorded through an analog loop. After some experimentation, I decided it would be more interesting to allow for user interaction with the piece, creating a space between the camera/projector and the wall for people to enter and be recorded.
Bracketed Clone Fold will be on display at the RMIT School of Art Gallery in Melbourne until October 31, 2008.
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.
