Hing Tsang Project: Ayahuasca Ayahuasca is an experimental piece, based on the vital cosmological visions associated with the Amazonian herb Ayahuasca and its accompanying rituals. It is also a collaboration between British filmmaker, Hing Tsang, and the Peruvian performance artist José Navarro. The original ceremonies have been translated and transformed through the medium of digital video to explore the interplay between light and texture in both interior and exterior settings, moving from the performance of a puppeteer, the vaults of a museum in London to the woods and waters of Suffolk. Textures and lines have been recreated using the lights originally manipulated manually by the performer, hinting at spaces that are not strictly limited to any one particular body, moment or specific film frame. Through both the use of camera and digital processing, walls of shining coloured light - both flat and diagonal - have been reconfigured and recreated. This is the context in which miniature puppets are animated and are seen from different perspectives. tag: videoart |

Hing Tsang Project: Seaworld Seaworld is a collaboration between the British filmmaker, Hing Tsang and Anglo- Peruvian performance artist and puppeteer, José Navarro. This experimental work explores the relationship between the topography of the human body and its constant immersion within nature, in particular the landscape of Britain's Suffolk coast. The foreground of the piece features body puppetry - where the artist's body is used as both subject and object, while the background deploys footage shot along the coastline of East England. Both body and landscape are radically transformed through different types of juxtaposition and superimposition in order to explore relationships between human subject and environment that are otherwise taken for granted. tag: videoart |

Huseyin Mert Erverdi Istanbul. Turkey Project: Variations on a Theme "Variations on a Theme" is a single-channel, endless loop video which consists of nearly 700 unique images obtained from hundreds of different samples from prokaryotic cells of bacteria like bacillus (Genus) and spirillum (Genus) to numerous eukaryotic tissues (connective, muscle, nervous, epithelial, epidermis, ground, vascular along with others) of various animals, plants and fungi. Each specimen is carefully photographed under a microscope via dark field illumination. Dark field is a specialized illumination technique in which specimens will be illuminated from the side and will scatter some of the light to enter the objective thus the specimen will appear bright on dark background. According to the theory of universal common descent, all organisms on the planet have evolved out from a single common ancestor. Thus all known forms of life are based on the same fundamental biochemical organization, from bacteria to animals and plants. "Variations on a Theme" uses rapidly evolving and perpetually forming visuals of cellular organic forms by utilizing the fast-cutting technique, which creates an aesthetic expression of different life forms blending into each other figuratively and literally, thus visualizes an established scientific theoretical perspective into an authentic artistic expression as these organic forms are already strongly intertwined on theoretical level. Presently there is an ongoing cultural convergence of art, science, and technology, in which artists and scientists find ample chance to examine how these various areas influence one another. Artists increasingly transform the area specific scientific data into aesthetic expression in some form or another thus in a way, encourage society to see the world in a new light with a deeper appreciation and a new understanding. "Variations on a Theme" is a project which aims to take a small step towards this goal. tag: videoart |

Huseyin Mert Erverdi Istanbul.Turkey www.merterverdi.com Project: Recurrence Recurrence" is a single-channel video loop, which consists of 300 individual fractal canvases. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. Fractals are referred to as nature's fingerprint as they are heavily present in nature. In accordance with its title, "Recurrence" is the result of a single fractal formula recurring with different color parameters for each individual canvas. It is specifically designed to be experienced in an endless loop; therefore both the formula and the video itself can recur infinitely. The sequential viewing of rapidly evolving and perpetually forming visuals meant to evoke sensations akin to abstract expressionistic exploration of gestures, lines, shapes, and colors which in a way hoped to evoke an impression of spontaneity and strong emotional reactions from the viewer. Painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko developed abstract art in the 1940s and 1950s. Especially Pollock's contribution to the evolution of art was seminal as he was able to simulate patterns that were similar to those that evolve in nature by adopting fractal like patterns. "Recurrence" is a meditation on the aesthetics of the 21st century new media art through the historical lens of 20th century abstract art. tag: videoart |

Marcelina Wellmer The work "Dust" combines generative HD video with the movement of the audience through camera tracking. Since some months I am collecting dust particles on a piece of black plexiglass. Monthly, I photograph the collected set, clean the surface and start from the beginning. The composition and the quantity of dust depend on the movement around the place and other random occurrences. One of the photographed sets I traced in a graphic program, the resulting graphical particles now get animated within the generative video software VVVV. A Kinetic 3D camera tracks the movement in front of the video projection – if somebody gets closer to the projection the dust speeds up and flies into all directions, triggered by the observers motion. tag: videoart |

Ip, Yuk-Yiu Clouds fall is a series of virtual tableaux, a speculative portrait of life on earth after mass destruction and its violent aftermath. Together with ANOTHER DAY OF DEPRESSION IN KOWLOON (2012) and THE PLASTIC GARDEN (2013), Clouds Fall forms an experimental machinima trilogy that hacked and reworked materials from the video game franchise CALL OF DUTY, unearthing hidden ghosts and poetics while creating evocative parallels through a kind of uncanny observation and navigation in the found virtual landscapes. tag: videoart |
