Hi
Thank you for your interest, I hope the following in some way answers your query.
I am an artist living in Antrim, N.I. who has just finished studying Art and Photography for six years At Belfast Institute. My background is in film and television editing but I have little stomach left for working in the mainstream. I've had a couple of personal films screened on NVTV in Belfast.
Hyperstation is really my modest reflection of Grant Morrison's notion of a cosmic download. It is an intuitive stream of magical imagery extracted from personal, interior symbolism and my exterior moving-image archive (Belfast pre-peace-process, the ancient giants ring stone).
Hyperstation is the name of the no-budget experimental film/video partnership I founded back in the 90's with the friend who is currently hosting the piece on youtube . He lives in London now and we have been working again over the past year in restoring all the Hyperstation films and my later individual films for dvd. So, in a way, this piece is a reflective distillation of that early experience.
The various elements include super 8, analog video, digital video and animation frames originated in Adobe illustrator. The soundtrack was recorded on analog four-track. The piece was composed in final cut express.
I was very inspired by the Invisibles and just dreamed of making the mental rush I received from it somehow tangible; a giddy catharsis, some kind of wake-up call/liberation. It was constructed in the spirit of rebellion and very inspired by avant garde and expanded cinema of Jordan Belson, Harry Smith and the Whitney's etc.
Again, I hope you find something of interest in it.
Good luck
-Mark |
