Non-Algorithmic Light

Petr Zábrocký / Czech Republic / 2013 / World Premiere / 2 min.


synopsis

The work’s two initial points of departure lay in an attempt to capture light in motion as it passed through various coloured filters, mostly made from everyday objects. The aim, however, was not to express a relationship between everyday objects and aestheticised images, but rather to humanise the process of creating an abstract film.

biography

Petr Zábrodský (born 1990) studied at the Center for Audiovisual Studies at FAMU in Prague. His work explores the relationship between new technologies and their aesthetics. He primarily creates audiovisual compositions that foreground digitally generated and manipulated data, its properties, and its potential textures. He also develops live performances, both solo and as part of the groups SolSol, DreamFlowers, Escher Fucker, and Zákonodárce Orgánů.
