WE HAVE DEVELOPED STRICTLY REPRESENTATIONAL TECHNIQUES WHICH GRAPHICALLY RECORDS THE PEOPLE’S CONNECTIONS TO THEIR PAST, THROUGH THEIR MOVEMENT. OUR AIM IN THIS PROJECT IS TO REVEAL THE SUBTLE CONNECTION BETWEEN TIME AND SPACE IN HUMAN MOTION USING PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO. WHILE OUR PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT USES LIGHT TO PAINT TIME ACROSS THE IMAGE AS IT IS CAPTURED, OUR VIDEO PROJECT USES CUSTOM SOFTWARE TO CHANGE AND DISPLACE THE ORIENTATION OF THE TIME AXIS IN DIGITAL VIDEO. IN DANCER P, THE AUDIO HAS ALSO BEEN LAYERED WITH MANY TRACKS PLAYING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, REPRESENTING THE DISTORTION OF TIME IN THE VIDEO.

OUR TECHNIQUES GRADUALLY MIX THE TIME AND SPACE RECORDED, RATHER THAN SHOWING THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY A PERSON AT A GIVEN TIME. WE SHOW HOW PEOPLE MOVE THROUGH SPACE AND TIME. AS YOU SWEEP YOU GAZE ACROSS THE SPACE RECORDED IN THESE IMAGES, YOU’RE ALSO TRAVELING THROUGH TIME. AN ARM EXTENDS OUT IN ALL FOUR DIMENSIONS AS YOU PULL BACK. A SUDDEN LEAP LEAVES YOUR FEET AT THE FOUR-DIMENSIONAL POINT WHERE THEY SUPPORTED YOU, WHILE YOU FLOAT FREE IN SPACE.
