This is a confluence of intent and a revisiting of an iconic animation by Norman McLaren – “Synchromy” 1971. McLaren’s “Synchomy” is an early form of machine art, a formal modernist gesture revealing & reveling in the immediate transparency of code and signal, a chimerical fantasy of speculative references–prophetic futurism reading itself, speaking itself. What I have done: reinterpreted and composited informed by the morphic quality of code, its slippage and variability, creating a highly saturated abstracted wave ocean horizon/sunrise pulsed imagistcally by the musical track.
