Description:
The concept is based on variations of two digital video-recordings
of road marks. One horizontal and one vertical recording combined
with a third recording of light reflections of highway situations.
Both road mark recordings are digitally multiplied progressively to
create a total number of 7 variations containing the original footage
on both ends of the screen row (left and right). This minimalistic
composition can be presented in two entirely different ways: either
the overall composition showing the 7 screens in one movie (perfectly
synchronised) or as installation using 7 television monitors (and
video players) or 7 computer screens. Both presentation possibilities
should loop the movie 'endlessly'.
Having a situation of 7 monitors | screens adds another valuable variable
to "On The Road - composition >by accident" which are
time differences. Even tiny synchronisation differences in starting
each individual movie would have spontanous combinations of the individual
parts. By looping those sequences the differences will become more
and more visible - until at some point they might be synchronised
again.
The installation
To present this Motion Graphics piece using 7 television monitors
or 7 computer screens use a decent sound system positioned close to
each other in a row. 7 videoplayers are required for television presentation.
