TIMOTHY MOYERS (USA)
Strahlung (2022)

Strahlung is about our negative impact on the earth and ultimate extinction because of it. The view the piece presents is an earth changed, alien and devoid of human life. The video explores the calm, stark, desolate, and unfamiliar landscapes of this changed earth in the aftermath of negative human influence and nuclear fallout. The piece utilizes modular synthesis for the vast majority of the sonic material. Strahlung /Stráhlung/ (Translated from German) noun, feminine [die] 1a. Propagation of energy or matter in the form of rays emanating from a source of radiation: "cosmic, atomic radiation" 1b. Energy or matter emanating from a source of radiation: "measure the radiation".


TIMOTHY MOYERS (USA)
Golden Cuttlefish (2019)

Golden Cuttlefish explores the relationship between the organic and the abstract. A digital ecosystem is created exploring this juxtaposition in both the sonic and visual worlds. Abstract imagery is controlled by organic motion. Organic sound environments coexist with abstract sonic events. The organic flow of musical form and time is complimented by the fluid motion of the video.


JOAO PEDRO OLIVEIRA (PT)
Storms (2018)

Storms are unpredictable. They move fast and change suddenly. There is rain, static energy, light, noise and movement. Colors are grey, dark blue, white.


JOSH WEISSBACH (USA)
For All Audiences (2018)

A trailer of an experiment searches for meaning in a moldy montage. The detritus of the movie industry swims in organic material. Emulsion and its cracks, its crumbles, and its fades. Is it ready for all the audiences?
