Semestral work of 1st semester 2018

video projection
A video experimentation piece presented at my Art faculty (so far). Original instalation consisted of monumental whole wall projection (about 530 x 240 cm) with "optional" sound in a form of headphones hanging from the ceiling.

"A selfportrait reconstruction via fusion of time and space fragments. I'm constructing a new form of digital reality out of pixel shards from video-shots of my own face. Every individual shot is taken at different place and day time. The only uniting element is my dynamical portrait, influenced by different light conditions everytime. There is visible only 1 pixel horizontal line out of every single shot and by merging all theese fragments at once, the new image arises - new autoportrait - new reality. This way I'm disturbing the linear, chronological perception of time as we know it and alongside the optical attributes of space sensed in one moment by human eye. Digital representation of reality via photography or video still remains just a representation, being influenced by limits of recording and displaying units - from properties of camera objective to resolution of monitor screens. By construction of digital image pixel by pixel I form a whole new reprezentation, only perceptibely implausible".

Technical background: hundreds of "selfie" videos all played together with only 1 pixel line visible of each at the same time - forming a new image in the 1920x1080 resolution. Processed in Adobe Premiere (sadly, no coding skills so far). As for sound it's simply the sound of all the videos played at once.
