Site-specific digital video on a mobile device
 
Through the post-production, I made a documentation video that reflects the site-specific viewing experience of a video piece presented for the Art Licks Weekend on 4th October 2015. The video played on the mobile device was digitally edited and explores the palindromic flow of waves (that is both forward and backward) in a surreal manner, and it responds to the theme of the event by Alt MFA: Palindromic Sequence – A Live Map of the Thames. The edited video was shown on the visitor’s own mobile device at the shore where the original footage was shot. And the visitors watched the video that provides digitally fragmented, the surreal perception of the waves coming and going simultaneously, and this was juxtaposed with the background of the real, ever-changing river.
