Moving Mountains 2

This work is a continuation of the video projection Moving Mountains 1, but regards the scale of time within which these rock faces are formed rather than their size. As we have come to understand the process of geological formation to be a reliably slow one, juxtaposing it with image generating software such as stable diffuse highlights the starkly contrasting immediacy of the two creation processes. Its use here seems to exist somewhere between the predictive and the imaginary. By generating masses of interpretations of the same rock face, one does not get any closer to knowing how the landscapes will shift in the future, but it does allow the viewer to be a lot more cognisant of slight shifts and changes as the images deviate from what is present in the original photo, whichever one that may be. In an almost psychedelic manner, things become other things and the rocks start to resemble and conceal different forms within their flowing grooves and suggestive fault lines.
