Marea
2018
Alex Murray & GVN908
Marea is a film that is composited algorithmically with live security camera footage. It is an assemblage of camera streams, sound and music that form a live cinematic experience. The film is an ongoing collaboration between artists GVN908 and Alex Murray who study at Shadow Channel and Radical Cut-Up as part of the Sandberg Instituut.
In contrast to the traditional cinematic edit, Marea exposes infrastructures of production in which the action and its cinematic consumption occur simultaneously. A real time rendered image captured at such high frequency that its meaning can only be experienced backward, a future that reassembles its past, in order to come to existence.
