Apple

Inspired by the direct film (cameraless) tradition, I cut an apple in half and scanned the both sides of the two pieces into my computer. I then took the image files of the apple pieces and “pasted” them directly into the video strip using a photo editing software package. This technique then transforms the apple pieces into what appears to be a random exploding jumble of images when viewed. The jumbled video stream is composited and inter-cut with a series of semi-3D rotations across and around the surface of the apple. The audio is a rhythmic composition made from samples of an apple being eaten. Major shifts in the audio correlate with major shifts in the video.
