This real world body suspension experience exploring the connections between our physicality and spiritual states, was captured as a photograph, cycled through custom Javascript to make bi-directional seamless loops, and layered together in After Effects with audio from nllpntr.

ReVesseled

Operating in an optimal state of stability, the idea of Zen is attainable.

When experiencing a balanced state, we find a kind of equilibrium that allows us to feel elevated. Our minds are functioning at optimal levels, our emotions are free of anxiety, and there is a sureness to our decision making. Physicality is at the center of the spectrum of pain and pleasure, where everything feels “true.” This is both a very clear place to be, and an illusory state that can cause one to forget that balance can only exist preceded and followed by imbalance. 

This position indicates that one has found their footing, and exists in a state of stability. The idea of Zen is attainable.

Balance

An immigrant stuck abroad yearns for a feeling from memory  
A smoke and a cup of coffee as the sun sets over the Aegean  
Their autonomy threatened by borders and bureaucracy 
Its complexity and pain an uninvited muse peering outwards  
Looking through entangled facets of a life they built abroad  
Solace becoming a distant dream slowly eroded by tears

Homesick

Phasing is a 7 part exploration of self discovery, and establishing healthy relationships with our former and future selves.
01 - Indolence
We start in the void, with a desire for transformation, defined by inaction.

Sleeper

Orban Isma - Claims

A convergence of topographies;  
The heart reaches out with urgency,  
Finding a tethered body and spirit.

The Skin Project: Will T Atkins x Orban Isma x Sam Waxman

L’école Buissonnière is a suspension collaboration between butoh artist Will Atkins x The Skin Project, captured by Sam Waxman. The title translates from a French phrase meaning to play hooky from school or work, a literal “school in the bush.” Inspired by the feeling of returning to what the natural world can teach us, the suspended subject is reimagined to have been pulled from the earth into the air. This piece was conjured out the romantic notion of returning to nature as a symbolic and emotional rebirth.

Decentralized desirescapes are the future for those seeking chains of carnal curiosities.

Iterative p5.js point clouds with points replaced by literally anything else, inspired by discussions with the brilliant @generativelight.

Absurdities

The inevitable loss of balance leads to a loss of control, and transformation.

When a time of discomfort inevitably arrives, one is confronted with anxieties stemming from a lack of balanced thought, unsure emotional states, and physical distress. Anxiety overrides our previously calm composure, and threatens to undermine our confidence in things. Faced with the suddenly unknown, we fall in danger of subverting our own well being, and subsequently the world around us. 

This position is one of chaos, that represents a loss of control – not just of our faculties, but of our grip on reality. Chaos is the ultimate transformative force.

ReDo

Revalued & Relayered

Suspended in a digitized loop between universes, memories of the three peaks are fading fast. It’s unclear now if the three moons ever existed, or are an actual ad agency from a capitalist hellscape dimension. One thing is certain: TV rots the brain.

Silently, Peregrinus screams into the pixelated möbius of his own making: 
“I should never have watched that f*!#ing butter commercial.”

Buttery distorted commercial audio responds endlessly, uncaring.
