Work of Post-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction

The flux creates, the chaos profligates. In the synaptic hallucination, art objects are resurrections of the iterations of the flux — a flux that uses the chaos as a zeitgeist to deconstruct ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the evolution of the electronic environment, the flux is superseding a point where it will be free from the chaos to transcend immersions into the ejaculations of the delphic hallucination. Work of Post-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction contains 10 minimal shockwave engines (also refered to as “memes”) that enable the user to make heinous audio/visual compositions.

measuring chains, constructing realities
putting into place forms
a matrix of illusion and disillusion
a strange attracting force

Robel Kassa’s work investigates the nuances of pixels through the use of slow motion and close-ups which emphasize the Generative nature of digital media. Kassa explores abstract and frivolous scenery as motifs to describe the idea of cyber-intuitive hallucination. Using sensory loops, non-linear narratives, and neo-fascist images as patterns, Kassa creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of space.

A friend just sent me this short film by Bruce Branit, called “World Builder.” Holographic ingenuity peppered with sentimentality. I like it. You should, too.

A small digital camera is always a nice toy to have around. I shot this right outside the Shaw/Howard Metro stop in NW DC. After some editing and effects, and a soundtrack (flying lotus’ “tea leaf dancers”), I figured it looked interesting enough to share.  Make of it what you will, if you can make out anything at all.

Length: 35 seconds
Shot on: Kodak Zi6
Editor: Sony Vegas
Audio: Flying Lotus, “Tea Leaf Dancers” 

I still can’t manage to string coherent words together into some modicum of expressing exactly what’s going on in my head after Obama’s incredible victory.

Instead, I’ve put together a quick video from stock footage to maybe articulate the thoughts a little bit:
