netflix blurb:
Video artist Scott Pagano and electronic musicians Mirco Uguccioni and Maurizio Ottavi (aka Rolf & Fonky) joined forces to create this collection of abstract, moving artwork that blends 3D and algorithmic elements with a complex musical soundtrack. Numbering eight in all, the individual art films explore the concepts of form, color, light and density while pushing the boundaries of what one would consider "art."
i would describe this to a buddy as a photoshop montage in motion to techno/rave type music. could see this (minus music) on a big screen in a slick, lowlight big city club/bar. engaging, yet one would not get distracted by bar conversation (& miss a storyline,plot,key dialog)= good background/atmosphere that beats the hell out of a tv show or music video. would be cool on numerous screens around a place out of sequence to other music.
each is sort of a motion painting>>> like seeing an image series of one subject/composition & all the variations/tangents in sequence. no real beginning or end & almost every frame would look great as a still image.
have thought of doing this stuff yet stressed out over long render times & lack of $$$ to buy the right equipment to pursue this vision. maybe cheap/affordable now? need a new lifetime to mess with motion.
like:
that there is no narrative per se & that their theme is constant. basically a beautiful girl that has been filmed & then this film is cut up, layer over itself out of sequence + the heavy use of overlays of color pattern, adjustment layers. the music works, yet gets tedious/annoying in a hurry.
half of the compositions are without the chick, & almost all seem to be completely virtual in construction, abstract, yet have a architectural quality/referencing i like. if you are familiar at all with random art that last sentence probably makes more sense (go to: random-art.org).
not like:
the tempo is constant>>> while i get why, over time for me, it gets too "strobe-ish"(might trigger an epileptic seizure in somebody).
would like to see this idea done with a slow/sensual motion/tempo>>>more
how it relates to me:
keeping current, awareness of our "now" so that somehow what i create will be "truly of my time." + will know what someone is talking about should this genre come up in a school discussion.
