This is a simple little collage video I made in 1994. Composed mostly from footage I shot at Barrier Island Environmental Education Center in South Carolina a few months earlier, I pieced it together with some other material later at Iowa City Public Access TV. The music was composed by me from audio samples, featuring a radio story about a tribe in South America that had been predicting environmental collapose and the end of the world, if I remember correctly. I was in a particularly dark moo...

An early experimental video, shot in South Carolina, initially edited tape-to-tape, then later finished at Iowa City Public Access in Iowa. Named after a novel by J.G. Ballard. Music was made on a Roland S-550 sampler and a Mac Classic computer running software I wrote in HMSL (Hierarchic Music Specification Language).
the other day via http://blog.nula.cc I discovered a Ruby software library called aviglitch. (see http://ucnv.github.com/aviglitch/ ) I've been playing around with it for only a few hours but it's pretty promising. here's what the results of these initial experiments look like.
