There is an underlying unchanging sync at the centre of everything. All constituent parts are locked into it as the gigantic zoetrope disc's constant rotation creates all movement. This sync was decided at the beginning of everything, and it rules everything. Everything follows from it... all time, all physics, all life, all animation.
CREDITS:
Sync, a film and installation by Max Hattler, was created as part of 'Time, What Makes Us Tick?', premiering August 2010 at Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival, Groningen, Holland.

by Bret Battey
Sinus Aestum (Bay of Billows) is a dark lunar plain articulated by threads of white dust, like tips of flowing and silent waves. Drawing from this image, the sound and image composition Sinus Aestum presents one sound-synthesis process and nearly 12,000 individual points, which are continually transformed and warped, restrained and released, without cuts, to form compound, multi-dimensional waves of activity — moving through unstable states between plateaus of pitch and noise. Mathematical processes are transformed into a contemplation of the continual ebb and flow of human experience.

A film by
Thorsten Fleisch
Music by Jens Thiele
From a mere technical point of view the ordinary tv/video screen comes alive by a controlled beam of electrons in the cathode ray tube. For 'Energie!' an uncontrolled high voltage discharge of approx. 30.000 volts exposes photographic paper which is then arranged in time to create new visual systems of electron organization.

_grau - 10:01 min, Germany, 2004
director, producer, animator: robert seidel
music: heiko tippelt, philipp hirsch
The experimental film _grau deals with personal issues on a visually abstracted level. It establishes a system of interwoven complexity born out of memories, scientific visualization and real data to create a modernized version of a tableau vivant, dealing with surreal and abstract images that come alive. The film is part of ongoing research to create organic imagery that is inspired by nature, art and technology. The ideas and inspirations of the film are partly disclosed, as the works are sometimes perceived as ‘eye candy’ or some kind of screen saver: somewhat related to the classic problem of modern art when it is often claimed that abstract paintings could just as easily be created by children. It is important to recognize that no technique is in itself predestined to capture an emotional experience, rather it is the artist’s vision that shapes the experience to become more than just pretty pictures.
