jotta / intel project 02 - the persistence of memory



using after effects shape layers, bevelling, randomization and keyframed paths to draw in paint-strokes and amorphous forms that fade and blur in and out

dream 8

we had a baby girl who could speak by the age of 2 months. she was very sweet and never cried, even when we had a party and people kept drunkenly slamming doors to find the toilet. a worrying dream

jotta / intel project 01 - the persistence of memory


beginning a high-definition video triptych based around dali's 'the persistence of memory'.

drawing on the ephemeral and enigmatic qualities in dreaming that dali was inspired by, digital 'paint' will descend, curl into forms, settle into semi-recognisable arrangements before slowly melting offscreen. the effect of watching the three portrait-oriented videos together may be that forms naturally coincide or appear to make sense fleetingly, approximating the brain's own impressive application of logic and authenticity to its own twitching electrical impulses while in a dream-state.
