Casey Finn BFA Intermedia Thesis Fall 2017

Abstract

<p><i>Analog Oceans and Nuclear Fusion</i> is a triple channel panoramic projection in the shape of a broken circle. You can’t go outside of the circle, you can only go inside of it; into total immersion. Surrounding you, a fabric constantly activated by found footage. The fabric’s smooth surface allows the screen’s form and visual content to be emphasized. The silence accentuates the visual immersion and screen shape. The footage is from my own personal 16mm collection and online archives. I have minimized temporal signifiers with the exception of the frailty of analog film: the scratches, color transformations, and glitches. This indicates a sense of time and history. The past is collected and crystallized into the present viewing experience.</p><p>Watch the film of the installation here: <a href="https://vimeo.com/246697884">https://vimeo.com/246697884</a></p>
