For some time now, I have been in the process of editing the material I shot with the MobileEye. So far I have finished one movie, Encounters, which was shown at Discovery08. The movie deals predominantly with the mental associations involved in visual experiences. I used the interlaced footage as base for most of the imagery. Basically it is a mix of 3-5 different sequences (narratives) interwoven and repeated several times with slight variations. It doesn’t have a beginning or ending and is meant to loop endlessly (the video runs for appr. 10 min.). Although it might be able to stand alone, the final result will be the installation of several videos in a manner I still have to decide on. The installation should work by allowing the viewer to see one or more of the videos at any given time, and by creating associations and links across the videos, not just in the videos.
At the moment I’m working on the second video (almost done!), working title Ophelia.
Below are two links, one is an excerpt from Encounters, the other is an excerpt from a MobileEye recording with tracking.
