Working on some video pieces. I like/hate this medium. Like it when it's the right balance of clumsy and novel but hate that you can so rarely get that. The top piece is that html grid of jewel GIFs I keep posting, captured off the web--about 15 times--each capture is a different sequence and then the best (most fluid) sequences are edited roughly in time to the music piece I wrote. (I reposted the Quicktime .mov, which gives an idea.) I had to redo this yet again last night because my captures weren't consistently cropped. I wanted the "shaky GIF effect" to happen entirely within the boundaries of the piece. The bottom piece is Vortex 2, which I showed in Mobile, AL last fall. I have no idea what it looked like in the gallery so I made my own installation shot.
