This semester I want to combine my previous semesters works, working with sound and video.
I enjoyed working with the theme of 'obsolete' technology, and want to make use of the vhs mixer in my studio. The machine can mix two VHS machines playing together, almost the same way a mixing desk works with sound. The effects available are almost limitless, and I want to create a video that's awkward, clumsy and slightly scary for the viewer. Creating images of distortion, I want to video to be almost unwatchable. I want to be able to use these visuals and sounds for exhibition, in some ways i am inspired by Bruce Naumann in this respect. Also I hope to use the visuals for live shows.
The dadaist movement has a large influence on my work, citing artist's like Raoul Hausmann and a newly discovered sound and dada inspired artist Henri Chopin.
Salvador Dali influences my surrealist take on the work. Also the video work of Marcel Duchamp.
The written works of Freud also comes into play, looking at the philosophy of the thought behind the work.
