Videos have patterned motion, sound, and flashing lights.
Echolocation blends digital distortions with animal echolocation recordings, repurposing discarded paintings to represent cycles of creation, decay, and renewal. Digital effects and painted surfaces create shifting images that evoke primal calls, tapping into subconscious rhythms and elemental forces.
Using echolocation as both a sound source and a concept, the project mirrors processes like melting, bleaching, and feedback loops to explore ecological and societal transformation. It symbolizes humanity’s search for meaning and belonging within a fragile, interconnected world, where survival depends on balancing isolation with connection to the cosmos.
2024. Full screen high-definition streaming optimal. Infinite video projection loops with echolocation recordings. Dimensions variable. Original composites include ink and acrylic on raw canvas.
