Flotsam (Single Channel Video) 2012 3min 39 sec animated video
Flotsam is an animated video thriller, inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 “Blow Up”, realized through a process of extreme pixelation. The work originated as a live action video that has been re-animated into a mass of coloured dots. Seemingly abstract, the dots articulate landscape and become visual action cues on a screen of moving coloured pixels. The narrative is conveyed through the viewers’ eyes as they wander through a rocky cove in rural Newfoundland and stumble upon the unexpected.
