Brilliant Noise

2006 • 5 min

Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun's finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise. This black and white grainy quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, usually hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected by satellites orbiting the Earth as single frames, or files of information, that are then reorganised into spectral sequences. The soundtrack brings to light the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating the intensity of the brightness into audio manipulation.

Asking the Repentistas – Peneira & Sonhador – to remix my octopus works

2006 • 16 min

Asking the Repentistas to Remix My Octopus Works (2006) is a two‑channel video work by Japanese artist Shimabuku. In this experimental piece, Shimabuku enlists Brazilian street singers, or Repentistas, to reinterpret and perform narratives inspired by his earlier “octopus” projects. Through a dialogue between visual documentation of his encounters with octopuses and the spontaneous, improvised oral storytelling of the Repentistas, the work explores cross-cultural collaboration, narrative translation, and the poetic intersections between human and non-human life. The result is a playful, immersive meditation on memory, mythology, and the act of storytelling itself.

Blue Monet

2006 • 53 min

Monet is an artist that I have always greatly admired. His use of colour through water and sky to convey his emotional state has had a great influence on me. Whether it was the first rays of light glinting the water's edge or the magic time just before nightfall, Monet's sense of colour and colour conveyance has always been perfect. I have used my techniques of alchemical film to translate onto film my impressions of Monet's sense of colour, water, sky and his most powerful icon the water lily. Using my toning, liquid emulsion, reticulation, dried crystal bleach formations and stacking techniques to just name a few I have translated the Monet experience onto the surface of my film.
