Zzzzzz-gon
Audio: Zzzzzz by Chrome Sparks
Concept
A cardboard cut-out 3D shape is mounted on the wall and is projected onto. The graphics are two original Processing programs that are imported into MadMapper using Syphon. The audio (Zzzzzz by Chrome Sparks) is superimposed in post-processing, and the video is taken in multiple cuts.
Technique
The Processing programs featured are my Shifting Stars sketch (new version), and my Growth Decay sketch that I created for this project. In this project, Growth Decay runs continuously, iterating over itself again and again to create a psychedelic, randomized vision. The first scene shown has Shifting Stars over Growth Decay using the Multiply effect, while the second is Growth Decay by itself.
The 3D shape was borrowed from the 3D studio, and the studio's projector set up was also used.
The video shown was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro to music.
Interpretation
This time, the project started with the sketch Growth Decay, and not the physical object. When designing the sketch, I wanted to make something that would appear to organically grow out from itself, and decay after a certain period of time. While the sketch definitely does do this, the psychedelic effect was actually accidental at first. I noticed that sometimes, the cells would circle around on themselves and continuously reactivate. Eventually, I was able to intentionally trigger this. The rainbow colors only solidified the trippiness.
