This is a brief test of what i plan to make for the Decode/Recode event. The kaleidoscopic imagery is taken from video footage of water flowing downstream. When viewed like this patterns start to emerge. Turing was obsessed with patterns in nature and that they could all be broken down into code.
a simple development edit of the water running down stream. The kaleidoscope effect is working to it’s full potential here because Turring was obsessed with patterns in nature, discovering that each spiral/circular pattern ultimately breaks down into simple code.
Motion research, this light installation by a band called dogshow shows how i’d like my videos to be split up into rings. I have collected images from a trip abroad of water running over rocks, if i use these two separate videos and play them back in the cut up rings formation it will hopefully look like a code that has been decoded and recoded incorrectly whilst still being intriguing and pleasing to the eye.
