RELAKE III. at Light Year Program 6: "Open to Interpretation"

RELAKE III. at Light Year Program 6: "Open to Interpretation" from Monochrome Clack on Vimeo.

The video is based on a painting which has been made by the use of separate bicycle parts (bicycle wheels and their shadows) forming an open circle.The circle – as one of the main frames of mechanical constructions – allows us a particularly positive and harmonious atmosphere.The invention of the wheel is undoubtedly one of the most important achievements of all times, it is the base of many thousand years of mechanical development. The bicycle is an important stage in this development and may symbolise further advancement as well. The crowd of spokes – as seen in the artwork – could indicate the evolutional direction and softness of the constructions.
The animation mix sets out from the structural elements. It is like a „minimalist reflection in a mirror” made by abstracting the perspective viewing angles of the painting.
The sound (sanyi - Ri:verse - mOde to Intellectual Poppetry) includes samples from Ship of Fools - Guidance is Internal feat. Albert Hofmann, Peter Finch - Foodball / Water-Vizet live performances in Budapest, 2002, 2003, Douglas Adams - Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC Radiophonic Workshop), P.B. Shelley - Ode to Intellectual Property, T.S. Eliot - The Hollow Man, Marshall Mcluhan - Medium is the Massage, along with various noise and bits of different music. The mix is a fragment from radio show Kelta karó on Budapest-based community radio Tilos)
