MYST continues with James Lowne’s OUR RELATIONSHIPS WILL BECOME RADIANT :

Our Relationships Will Become Radiant
James Lowne, 2011, 9 mins, video, color, sound

Mysterious and abstruse with coarsely rendered aesthetics, James Lowne’s “Our Relationships Will Become Radiant” is a peculiar animation that at first glance appears to be a CG test animation from the late ‘80s or early ’90s; however, this video was completed in 2011 and was commissioned by Animate Projects of London. A strong sense of foreboding pervades as multiple narratives unfold together. Bloody birds, desolate landscapes, cryptic activities and relationships, sparse wildlife, and lonesome figures exist in a mystifying space of dreamlike and surrealistic reflection. (AR)

The theme of MYST continues throughout March, spread the word—

MYST
Identifying with the 1993 computer adventure game MYST, this program of contemporary moving image-based art mazes through aberrant places and mystifying spaces, highlighted by digital simulacra that employs new technology to render regressive aesthetics inspired by the nascency of the early virtual.
