computations

These computational films are as much works of generative sound as they are of algorithmic image. It was for me a new way to do films, to work with my photographs, to find a new rhythm and new sound. But it also led to a way to radically reconsider the very nature of the image and recording, not as playback but something generative. Of course many visual DJ's. have taken this much much further, as I remain in a narrow range of image and the manipulation of the surface and territories of the screen. I made numerous tapes in the space of such experiments while a student of Shirely Clarke and Max Almy playing with the electronics of the grass valley switcher while in film and art school. Here below are recordings of these simple iterative films that in computation go on and on and on.
