I like broken videos. This one was broken by me and was eventually used during the Salon Brut event at Willemeen

Last december, just before holiday madness, Epix opened again. The exhibition, themed “The End”, opened on december 21 and dealt with the apocalypse.

My work, called 10 Iteraties (10 Iterations), shows 10 iterations of a short clip of Robert Oppenheimer saying “I am now become Death, the destroyer of Worlds”, more severely distorted with every iteration. I used several databending techniques to generate the video.

The full title, kālo’smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddho lokānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ, is the phrase from the Bhagavat Gita in original Sanskrit.

During a dreary weekend in the summer, there was another Epix exhibition, this time on another location. The theme was Transitional Invasion.
Unfortunately, the work I had planned, an interactive surround sound installation, was DOA. As a stop gap work, I presented a computer/video work instead, the one I had already shown during Nachtkerk #8 (see some posts below).

As promised (in april) some footage from the Anything But Paint exhibition.
My installation, called Sigil 1.0, was an interactive computer piece.

Sigil is a procedural piece:
For every word in a sentence, which will remain secret, an image was found on Google;
Every image was then treated to reduce it to its graphical essence;
These images were then placed in a 3D space which responded to the viewer’s presence and activity.

Here’s what the screen looked like:

I set up a video installation for the last proper Nachtkerk event, april 4th 2011. Never got around to post the video until now.
The installation is based on some of the videos I made for crib.sheet except they respond to the music the DJs played. It ran for 6 hours straight in a noisy and damp environment and was stable as a rock.

I did a short gig at Tape, in Arnhem, sept 24 2010. Tapes, 2 delays, short wave radios.
