A Piece of Sunsession #05
This work was made as one of a series of works entitled “Sunsession”.
It is composed of video images of my own daily life that I filmed
over three years, and I produced this work to bring together these
fragmented images.
When editing footage that is personal in nature, there is always
the problem that the images edited based on the subjective views
of the editor will reflect the editor’s (creator’s)
feelings too strongly.
The editor’s feelings sometimes have an advantageous effect,
but in most cases of personal video works and video diaries, these
feelings hinder the work’s resonance with the audience.
Taking into account these factors, I edited my work using a computer
program so that editing would not be influenced by my personal feelings,
hoping to give a sense of universality to my work.
By performing editing using a program, the resulting images were
completely different from what I had contemplated. For example,
images that I would have cut had I edited the work myself became
included, and the images became joined together in a way very different
from conventional montage theory.
It is evident that the incorporation of chance at the editing stage
makes possible a video experience unlike anything produced before.
For this work, I used the images I had filmed in the past to create
a movie, and I executed the program with respect to the movie so
that it was automatically edited.
Specific algorithms
? Depending on whether audio data is ON or OFF, the video images
are set as either ON or OFF.
? When an image changes from OFF to ON, the movie that I first created
starts playing from a random part.
I created a program using only these two items as algorithms, and
showed the movie produced by this program superimposed over the
movie that I first created, by overlapping.
After graduating university, studied video in the Computer Generated
Image Course at International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences,
and video in the Time-Based Media at the Institute of Advanced Media
Arts and Sciences (IAMAS), both in Gifu. Viewing the camera as device
for recording the photographer's gaze rather than for capturing
photographic subjects, he produces consciously videoworks that reflects
author’s gazing. These years, he has pursued new possibilities
in digital image-making, creating videoworks using MAX/MSP and Jitter
for his /Sunsession/ series, which was presented in July 2002 at
the Mori Art Museum pre-event /Young Video Artist Initiative/ (Roppongi
Think Zone), screened onto the floor using sixteen projectors. His
interest in ?one-time-only video experiences? has also led to live
video performances, and to seek other means of projecting works
than by packaged video screening as well as the ontology of video
itself. Most recently he has formed the artist group ?Gokuraku Brothers?
(?Gokura? stands for?paradise? in Japanese) together with OGASAWARA
Noriaki and Hakumae Susumu who are including non-video elements
in their productions.
