Jeux: Tilden

birdie
Jeux: Tilden is to be a first video project. I stored the idea away for almost two and a half decades and am just now starting to make it my own. I hope, of course, to take it beyond the literal ('oh, it's a girl tossing tissues up at the Seaview Trail lookout') and create a playful poetic statement about imagination and flight. With the ability to cut, paste, filter, time remap and endlessly edit the footage, the project is also likely to investigate artifice--the artifice of birds (but they are not birds!) whose wingbeat rhythms, so obviously composed, no longer coordinate with what we perceive as natural.
