2nd Brain Session 4: Study in Propositional Density

Works in progress

3D Scans of ephemeral sculpture

Forbidden Proposals: Billboards

Ruthless litigation would follow rapid Cease and Desist after production of our proposed public beautification of everyday fast food.

2nd Brain Session 2

An improvised wet sculpture, composed entirely of edible substances, was created on the surface of a glass plane, filmed from below. A short film (loop) of the 1-hour composition was supplemented by animation of an edible crystalline recreation and a visual effect addendum, and mixed with appropriated experimental music sources. The work is informed by the catabolic process (digestion) which deconstructs and maximizes the benefits of everything we consume, leaving us new opportunities for tomorrow.

2nd Brain Session 2 Story Board

This original work on paper is a traditional method of conceiving film narratives, here created after the fact.

The story board images present progressive stages of a single sculptural form, each with a power to evoke interpretation. The randomly assigned captions are excerpted script notes from what is considered by traditional cinema culture to be the top ten film works of all time (BFI, 2012). 

The juxtaposition of these captions against the images trigger automatic pattern, memory, and cultural cues, whether or not the viewer is familiar with the references (to further reduce bias, the films are not identified). 

The final image in the storyboard (and the film) is a “stock shot” licensed from a video depository of countless generic shots, commonly used in commercial media to depict moments too difficult to film by the producers.
