    Control

    Sara Condo

    “Control is a video shot through the lens with the idea that society is moving deeper into a digital age. I collected footage of various urban landscapes in major U.S. cities and processed them through a visual programming language. The light in the video is generated through a filter which reduces the light into color pixels. The light pixels are then filtered through a program which generates the sound. Therefore, you hear what you see. Control aims to make the viewer present in the moment yet also hopes to hypnotize them under mass media’s spell.” – SC

    Add to Cart

    Claire Jervert

    Add to Cart uses the icon of a shopping cart as it appears on the “add to cart” button seen on retail sites throughout the Internet. This icon has become a universal symbol of “the purchase.” Here, the icon takes on a panoply of stock effects used in electronic billboard advertising–bright, shifting colors; pulsating lights; jittery, hyperkinetic animation effects. The forms of advertising appear, but entirely emptied of content.

    Independence Day

    Mitch Oliver

    Strange phenomena ignite. Terror magnitude has arrived; its mission: fate and unimaginable circumstances.

    This project is an extrapolation of the alien noise generator that signaled down to Earth. Keeping with the theory of the movie, random noise condenses down upon itself and disrupts all communications. A circuit-bent LaserDisc player generated images from select scenes of the film, which were further processed with analog feedback loops.

    Triptych AKA Miami Booty Bass

    Alfredo Salazar-Caro

    Triptych AKA Miami Booty Bass is a study of portraiture translated with 21st century tools. Using Sagrada Familia con ángel músico, Santa Catalina de Alejandría, Santa Bárbara, (1510–1520) from the anonymous painter, simply known as Master of Frankfurt, Miami Booty Bass re-examines the composition and affect of the masterpiece. Using 3D modeling softwares and motion capture and images of churches and drones, Miami Booty Bass adds a new footnote to a millennium old conversation.
