Hey people,

In Japan Kanako and me recorded performers expressing perfect moment stories through movement. I then processed the results using a combination of After Effects and GrandVJ to get the dark glitchy animation vibe. Below is a screencapture of roughly what it looked like. The music is a track SKANK developed for the showing.

During the showing the projection was beamed onto a dimly lit white wall. The performers, and their shadows, imitated the silhouettes. The result was a delayed movement-based call-and-response from performer, to the digital, and back to the performer once more.

We were discussing this at last night’s rehearsal at Shopfront.

My response?
Perfection is killing me.

TJ asked me to think of an image that represents this.

Instantly I was reminded of a picture my friend drew for me back when we were in high school. At that time I was going through a lot of stuff, and to top it off I was being given a hard time by a couple of people. Together we came up with this gelatinous monster, which has since been a metaphor for so many things in my life.

I am happy to do my impersonation at any time
