The way in which we interact with the internet and the realm of the internet with its own space and time is bizarre. The pseudo reality of the information realm impacts our senses more overtly then ever before, and increasing appears to blur the lines between non-fiction and fantasy. The surreal is revived not sculpturally or graphically as originally supposed, but now experientially as our position within our culture and available vantage points are in flux. We ride on Paul Virilo's dromospehric highway, im curious to explore our ability to navigate.

It almost feels like one of those impossible games have a go:

Palimpsest 1: video proposal for exhibiton

We are exposed to a constant stream of image, text, and sound. In this age of information, we can consume just as instantaneously as we can upload and offload. Through my work I am exploring our relationship to information, the process of how we absorb this information and the ways it affects us.

I suspect contemporary information technologies such as the internet are changing the nature of human existence. This ontological interest is being cultivated through studying an array of subjects; time, otherness, chaos theory, the eastern notion of oneness, and technological singularity.

Palimpsest 1 is a development of my interest with video information. Using a set of stock footage I came by online I am attempting to create a narrative. Here I am using the editing process to symbolize and explore how we analyse and collate video on a daily basis.
