Inconsecration

Inconsecreation is a complex mix of videos that fully explores the capability of the Sandin Image Processor’s handling of live-feed, video feedback, oscillation patterns, and recorded footage. The live-feed camera footage consists of a scene where hands are seen manipulating a mixer; the video feedback creates an ever-glowing spiral; the patterns generated from the oscillators form a series of pulsating rhombus shapes; and the pre-recorded material includes footage of a dancer and ocean scene.

The video is skillfully paced where visual oscillations accumulate into a climatic outburst. The scene eventually lands on the moving image of ceaseless ocean waves, poetically blending technology and nature into an inseparable dialogue. The keying of the dancer turns the image into a silhouette, where the body becomes a vessel that holds complex visuals, as if internalizing the expanded experience of perception. The second half of this video repeats the same materials and structure with different processing techniques.
