Artist Statement:
The film is an experimental music video created for the musician Mike Paradinas, also known as “µZiq” at the University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg, Germany. The main idea came from listening to the music on the Windows Media Player with the Particle Visualisation engaged. It inspired us to create images of a deserted urban landscape with pixels falling from the sky and splattering on the environment. The juxtaposition of this phenomenon with slow-motion cinematography and attention to peripheral details (shadows on walls, street lights, exposed electrical wiring, etc.) combine to create an eerie sense of defamiliarization. From there on, we developed the story of one moment in a person’s life. With the theme for the video, we set off across Europe from Frankfurt to Nuremberg via Vienna to Bratislava to capture images inspired by the music and the places.
