Brokenflo is an intermittent serial portrait that explores the rhythm and deep structure of cyclists involved in their daily commute. People emerge over time from their collective, soft-focus anonymity and fleetingly present themselves for this long-lens portrait before disappearing again into the flux and flow of the city.

An abstract representation of the sun created by a video of ocean water on a beach. There is a subtle energy contained in its geometric form that appears to be alive and breathing. It is a short meditation on movement and life that can emerge from real and ethereal connections. – KYC
Light and shadows 6 is a film recording the changing light and shadows on the walls of a room as the sun sets. It is a silent, time-lapse film that captures the movement and vague shadows of leaves and branches of a tree outside the house as they are projected into the room by the setting sun. As the sun changes its position in the sky during the year, the nature of the light entering this space will also vary, projecting different shadows into the space of the room. – AP

In the performance for video, Rise & Fall (Beijing), the artist, Kate Casanova, lies on the ground with a camera held to her chest. The image of the sun rises and falls with her breathing, stitching together the human body and its surrounding environment which, in this case, includes the ever present haze of pollution that hangs heavy in the Beijing air. – KC
A layered attempt at daily life: home, clouds, and the river in the background. – PM
An ecstatic chant greets the rising of the sun.
Sound and image are juxtaposed and find moments of synchronicity, while remaining parallel and separate.
Time rushes forward slowly. Narrative is everything and nothing. – CW | CB

Set between Swaziland and South Africa, in a region still struggling with the divisions produced by an apartheid government, Greetings to the Ancestors documents the dream lives of the territory’s inhabitants as the borders of consciousness dissolve and expand. Equal parts documentary, ethnography and dream cinema, herein is a world whose borders are constantly dematerializing. – BR
Sun Burn (Screen Saver) is comprised of 365 images from my project Suns from Flickr complied into an animation, and then converted into a screensaver. As a screensaver, the implied danger of burning a whole into your screen is, in fact, not a real threat: the longevity of our newer screens is no longer effected by intense of light or form in one place. Current screensavers function purely for entertainment and distraction, and in fact they use more energy than if the computer were allowed to just go to sleep. – PU
We are pleased to offer a lamp that turns on and off when you clap, when you clap your eyes. A lamp that lets you see in the dark without disturbing the dark. A lamp producing natural light. A lamp that when you clap turns on and on.
