Description

This artwork is an real-time generative feedback algorithm combined with a pre-recorded video loop to create an evolving and hypnotising real-time hybrid artwork. The video of the trees covered in lights was recorded on a Sony digital video camera (on DV tape, I believe) in Berlin in 2007, when I was visiting. It is played back 10x slower than when it was recorded. I wanted to hit a sweet spot between motion and a series of still images to reference that we remember in moments. There is a dark poetry to travelling through a foreign city at night. A different language than the day, where things can jump out from the shadows and surprise you. Here, in 2007, as the car I was in turned the corner, there was a whole row of trees covered in lights. I guess I had my camera in my hand, so I was able to record passing them by. This memory has sat motionless for many years. It is now re-experienced by you, in this artwork. It is reactivated and recontextualised. It is our shared memory now.
