Artist Statement:

An ambient video that begins with a natural event, the dynamic motion of ocean water churned by ship motion and is transformed into a new presence that also suggests clouds or astronomical nebula. My interest is directed toward transforming time and motion into new realities using digital tools. The work was shot with a GoPro camera and then considerably transformed in post production. The footage was slowed down by 90% and edited in Final Cut Pro where minor sharpening enhancement was used, and an original sound track was added. The soundtrack was created using both analog synthesizer (Arturia miniBrute) and Ableton Live Suite 9.
