INSPIRATION:

What can be "seen" on video or film, or by a computer is very different from what is seen by the human eye. Watching engineering students at the Cooper Union, I was very much inspired by all of the different programs, equipment, and technologies used for robots to navigate places and situations. In a way, different artistic media allow people to see many different perspectives of the same place and situation.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

Hue Shift is a digital media augmented performance. Utlizing video, real-time video editing, and performance. The play, King Lear by William Shakespeare and the film Ran, by Akira Kurosawa are performed and screened, collaged together using real time mixers.

REALIZATION:

The story of King Lear is the tragic story of sight, insight, blindness, and self-delusion. Collaging together the film adaptation by Akira Kurosawa, and a live performance utilizes digital media to heighten the sensation of fiction, fantasy, reality, and illusions. Like a hall of mirrors, the reflections between film and performance, between real life and art, between poetry and real life wisdoms become indiscernible one from the next.
