THE GRID IS THE FLOW
series of 4 x 13 second videos and 4 printed stills
The original videos in this set of work were created with a sound input. They were deconstructed by dramatically decreasing the tempo and resolution so that one is confronted with the 'gridding' - the orderly system that is creating the illusion of flow.
Michel Serres the french philosopher stated that 'the world is ruled by flows—by turbulence, percolation, disorder, and uncertainty—rather than by linear progress or orderly systems'. But isn't it possible that those flows are ruled in turn by systems and linear progress? Which then of course are ruled by flows?
