In The Blink Of An Eye - National Media Museum

On Monday 30th April I visited the National Media Museum. I found the piece below particularly inspiring as the idea behind it is similar to my thaughts in relation to my current studio project 'translation'. Forms, by Quayola and Memo Akten is a digital artwork that responds to the human body in motion. It focuses exclusively on the mechanics of movement, using footage of world-class athletes to illustrate human movement at the extremes of perfection. Videos of athletes were processed through custom software to create evolving abstract forms that explore the relationships between the human body and its movements through time and space. This artwork was especially commissioned for In the Blink of an Eye by the National Media Museum, with the support of imove.
