Collaboration with Swiss artist Nelson Beer on his music video.
Manifesting itself as an audio-visual collage of academic and non-academic writings and research materials, inherited familial memories, and encoded information, Orlando revolves around photogrammetry, a process by which three-dimensional information can be extracted from photographs. Orlando takes 'past' moment as starting points through which to generate an image of a greater whole, thereby pondering the potential effects of the indexical present - a direct attentional focus on "the concrete, immediate here-and-now," such as the reaction to a moment of sudden death - and the afterlives of this event.
Collaboration with Swiss artist Nelson Beer. Video directed by Valentin Gillet, Nelson Beer & Guillaume Piccarreta.
Following research initiated with the hybrid video project Orlando (a past collaboration between the two artists), And The Thunder continues the visual deconstruction of the geological with software aesthetics. Through computerized fluid simulation, ATT dissociates representation from perception, surface from essence, stripping the ocean down to its turbulent kinetic flows. It representes an immensely vast three-dimensional volume by its one-dimensional opposite. The software reveals invisible motions flowing through the whole. ATT takes us through a point cloud storm, shaking us over and under the water surface in parts, but above all, within.
Visualisers for Pierre Rousseau’s Albums 'Mémoire De Forme' and 'Mode Par Défaut'.
