EUREKA!: OR, BECAUSE NOTHING WAS, THEREFORE, ALL THINGS ARE...

 

This series of five, large-scale video vignettes were inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's Eureka Poem, an essay on the material and spiritual universe. Eureka! also entertains the notion that everything that exists in nature is one reality (substance) and that complex patterns of formation and movement found within it reveal a multitude of hidden codes. A sequence of mute projections slowly and hypnotically shift and morph, calling attention to the qualities of both photography and the moving image as each vignette unfolds to reveal an isolated moment in time within a larger narrative.

Eureka! was made for the Digital Video Theater (DVT), Jordan Hall of Science with technical support from Keith Davis.
