My videos are about painting the screen with technology. They have no beginning or end and are intended to be viewed more like a painting and less like a film.
In my Bar Code Wind Chime the bar codes act like paintbrushes by altering the screen with varying color and opacity. I wanted to mimic the horizontal movement and pacing of bar codes being scanned at a supermarket. For this digital collage I drew inspiration from two Pop artist Jasper Johns and Robert Rausenberg. Jasper Johns's use of changing color in his flag paintings influenced me to push color through the black bars. Robert Rausenberg's use of unconventional materials had me digging through my trash to find the bar codes that best described me. I created this animation in Adobe Affter Effects using the grayscale bar code file as a moving matte which I then laid over the color packaging logo. |
