Lenara Verle I Brasil

GridCosm is a collaborative Internet art project by Sito Electronic Arts (www.sito.org) New images are fast-pacedly added in a neverending telescoping process. Each artist has only two hours to reserve, produce and upload a piece to the Cosm. This video animation condenses five years of work from over a hundred artists into a twenty-minute intense adventure. This is a film that will permenantly skew reality for the psychologically teetering. Images fly by in a strange illusion of three dimensions. It's a beautiful and slightly nauseating thing. Weeks and months fly by. Current events become the past.
Castles rise up and recede. Patterns bubble and fizz. Perversion gets lost in a tapestry of motion. In short, a dazzling undescribable experience.
