Sample demos for an adaptable method of turning paintings into a kinetic environment made of light and speed. I've taken photos of full uncropped paintings of my own, with no digital manipulation except for rotating and reversing, and constructed a dynamic mosaic of images in rhythmic compositions of one-tenth of a second each. The pulse is not imposed but discovered during the making. The piece suggests a system of extending the reach of painting practice in a new way. It offers an experience modified by its medium: it looks different on phone, laptop, desktop, or large monitor. It can be projected, indoors or outdoors, onto a screen or wall at traditional painting size. As a three-channel installation on existing gallery architecture it functions as a complete environment. It works in the film and video festival sphere. It can go anywhere and both augment and be reshaped by its venue. The piece can be short or long, but in its ideal gallery form will run for two to four hours, roughly an evening's experience. This is not for length but for scale. The images don't play in what is referred to in music as 'horizontal time'-- they don't go from one place to another, like a melody. Instead they function in 'vertical time', suspended in a perpetual present. like a hanging mobile sculpture. The patterns don't repeat, so what you see is a dependable ongoing metamorphosis, stimulating and/or calming. Because one can't establish the informational meaning of any single image, one shifts to a second-order experience of viewing where the patterning flow itself develops narratives, narratives of the kind we find in instrumental music. The demo samples you'll see on the Vimeo links make the process clear.
