Chronomops
video
2005
sound: General Magic




Chronomops opens up a shimmering, colourful space that is simultaneously an excess of colour, frenzy of perception, and pop carousel. An abstract architecture of vertical colour bars is set in endless rotation, whereby the modules and building blocks fly around themselves – and the entire system likewise rotates. The forced, in part jerky movement forms a digital maelstrom whose suction pulls the observer deep into it. A system surfacing as though out of a void, steadily plunging
through its own dynamic into new excesses of mobility, while adventurously hopping axes, temporarily dissolving into two-dimensional stripes, then lapsing again into a prismatic staccato of light and colour, tending towards a 90 degree angle, sideward – leaving an extreme dizzying feeling in its wake.
