AdvAdventures in Nurbland Composite

Sound and video by Linda Loh.

The abstract video “Adventures in Nurbland Composite - with Epilogue” is an experiment in distortion and translation of original light based source material. Passing through multiple stages of evolution, the photographic and digital imagery is subject to manipulation using digital tools such as After Effects, Photoshop and the programming languages Max MSP and TouchDesigner. Algorithmic and tone reactive procedures are used, and early on data visualisation that mapped data from a stars database with neurophysiological data has contributed to the abstraction. The result is a non-narrative journey, with its own internal logic, ephemeral and elusive. Experimental sound made by the artist helps to transport the viewer to another space beyond mind and body, mesmerising and hypnotic.
