EXPERIMENTAL FILM: DIGITAL MATERIALISATION


With a new week comes a new mini experimental film brief. This week it was on digital materialisation and how modern life and technology control us and have changed our lives. In lesson Anne showed us some artists who had created this technique but with analogue film instead, creating double exposures with printers instead of editing software. 

Me and Danielle decided to do this film together and we played around with a few ideas but couldn't quite settle on any. Then Danielle showed me how to glitch photos to create lines across the screen and we started to build on that idea. We took photos next to bright coloured screens and then photos of old technology and glitched them. We then filmed us interacting with the online robot Evie. We recorded her responses to some sentences we typed and then warped the audio. Here are some photos and the processes: 









To do this you have to open the picture into its code, and then start the random process of deleting whatever code you like and re saving the image every time. You then achieve this look, I feel this is definitely something Danielle and I could build on, and we had a lot of fun doing so.

Here is the final film: 




I hope you enjoy. Thank you.
