EVERYTHING CONTINUES

A Video Featuring Nothing But White Noise Has Received Five ...

I was listening to The Brian Jonestown Massacre while recording the footage so I had to cut it out for copyright. Inspired by Avery's A Cure for Culture Capture I looked into some more noise. I never stop referencing that book Groove Tube: Sixties Television and the Youth Rebellion by Aniko Bodroghkozy where it references this idea that you can only truly see video with mismatched sound. I wanted something industrial and trancy rather than melodic and delicate. Obvious place to look was ye olde Palm Honey's recommendations on Spotify. Below are the two most like what I had envisioned.



Whilst on an editing break, Chloë's cofounded open call popped up and now with a new found direction and motivation I decided to scrap audio all together as now the piece can be interactive from the digital gallery space with my statement or title suggesting to watch with your own choice of music as many times as you wish. This would solve issues of making sound with no equipment and makes it more appropriate for the brief. I cut the 20 minutes of footage down to 3:45, the average length of a song. The piece is now focused on: poor/restricted materials, connection via interaction, timelessness, repetition and 'loss of the whole picture'.

Including the black end screen, there will be 21 clips. 21 being the number of days we have been on lockdown at the point of making (April 13th), 21 days was the initial number of days we were given for the lockdown period.
