the Festival of the Smallest

Video, no sound, 6’32

The work 2017-03-02 consists of a few seconds of a TV report, slowed down 100 times.

From the middle of 2016 on, I increasingly used selected, only a few seconds long film sequences – often from current news broadcasts – as a starting point.  I noticed that the picture reports almost exclusively consist of a quick sequence of extremely short clips, which are hardly consciously noticed by the viewer in their relevance. These successive spots result in a melody whose individual notes are no longer recorded independently.

By isolating very short film clips, slowing them down extremely (up to 100 times) and deliberately blurring them, I try to extract their individual content in its visual essence from these short film snippets. The results are soundless, silent …

Through processing, they acquire their own aesthetic quality and stand for themselves, regardless of their original context.

Gamechanger (long version)
This quantum art video explores a theory of the nature of time-travel through a wormhole. Time dilation connects differently inside and outside of the wormhole. The theory posits that if synchronized clocks at either end of the wormhole remain harmonized – as witnessed by an observer passing through it – time-travel is possible.

 

 

Red String Theory
Underdeveloped and untested, Red String Theory (RST) is a phenomena that is unexplainable. Poetic displays of crimson jute are minimalist manifestations that represent other dimensional occurrences beyond the comprehensible. This red string is a simple model of the complex formula to illustrate “being stuck” in a third dimension while parallel realities exist simultaneously connected by the particles of a single dimension.
