| Created in L.A. in 1983 for the feature "The Philadelphia Experiment", 32 pieces of photocollage were designed to hook up into one continous spiralling background for a twelve to twenty second time tunnel sequence. Reproduced as kodalith transpanrencies the collages were photographed individully and combined in-camera using the "slit scan" technique. This required the photocollage peices to be made to the specific dimensions perscribed by the technology employed; including a revolving lightbox mounted at the end of a 26 foot track on which the camera was mounted and robotically controlled by the new Tondreau motion control software. This was a great opportunity to put into practice ideas from experiments in perceptual pyschology and art. Only three seconds of the final shot was used in the film but the art had a long afterlife. Transparancies of these pieces were used as vignette projections in live performances with Night School Theatre from 1985-88 and as key enviromental elements in the digital film "the Prisoner's Cinema". This work was also used as the basis for the computer controlled slide projection sequence of the "Rabbit Hole" for George Coates Productions version of "Alice" at A.C.T. in San Francisco (which was closed by the 1989 Earthquake). |
