Cycle explores
ideas of systems, complexity, and life processess.
It
combines artificial and natural life forms and is exploring dynamic
complexity. Every frame of the pattern is symmetrical. Cycle is
an emergent film both in its music and visual aspects with the
method and process of each being very similar. This film is entirely
unedited and was essentially about assembly.
It
consists of three componants: two hand held video sequences shot
over 10 minutes (tree in blossom and earth) moving from in focus
to out of focus and one programmed artificial life pattern, which
forms the constructive architecture for the piece. The exact result
of this fusion before the 'assembly' took place was entirely unknown
and the collisions and integration of the two video sequences
and pattern resonate, functioning like visual harmonics in counterpoint
to the music.
The
music '12
Pieces for Recycling Piano Harmonics' was composed for the
film by Marvin
Ayres.
Its
final form is DVD with full surround sound.
