The piece uses the manipulable temporal qualities of digital video work to its advantage, by distorting a continuous action frame by frame beginning at a point beyond immediate recognition, and progressing towards the perceivable. As the pitch modulates throughout the piece, so we are led to believe, are the visuals. We are led to view the action as that of increasing playback speed, and with this, a notion of moving towards a resolution and away from the non-perceivable. The work relies on the viewer’s belief that sound and image are informing the actions of each other, and thus they are mutually defined by the developing process of the other.
