natura

//todo cambia todo el tiempo todo esta cambiando//

this intermedia work poses the following questions for meditation: does nature also produce that which is artificial or synthesized? is human technology and culture really separate from the natural matrix it arises from? what role does language play in producing our experience of nature? is a more holistic view of humans as inseparable from nature possible or desirable?

this audiovisual experience was created with a combination of digital and analog processes. it uses footage taken directly from 'Space Engine' which is a virtual universe simulator, fed into physical video effects processing machines, digitized from a CRT TV, and used as a video texture inside Blender (open-source 3D and video software) where i also placed these 3d models of animals by offered under a creative commons license by britdawgmasterfunk. In Blender, the different camera movements are animated and stitched and processed in After Effects. The sound design uses free-to-use nature sounds, my voice, and digital effects/instruments in Logic Pro.

this work was created especially for the VerticalCrypto Art Residency 6th Cohorot Exhibition and Auction and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to VerticalCrypto Art to support future endeavors.
