Depart (2012)


 
Running time: 10:00
Native format: Quicktime MOV
 

A poetic essay about motion tracking, digital manufacturing, and absence, wherein I set out to forge an on-screen interaction with fireflies that never took place. Set to a score of air traffic control radio, transportation ambience, and ominous drones, the piece intermixes found and self-shot footage until they are indistinguishable from each other.
