"My image synthesis/image processed video work are serial constructions which are
produced with custom built analog and digital processors. Each section is a synthesized real
time recording where sound and image are parallel electronic structures which are mutually
controlled by predetermined waveshapes.
The work is about people, interaction, time, physical and psychic space, and about
remembering. Although this work is electronically synthesized, it is tactile; it satirically
recalls organic structures and processes. Its content hones in on the most primitive and
elemental social and biological functions. At times, the images and movements become
schematics of moods or psychic states. As in other kinetic art forms, a good deal of interest
lies in the transitions between shapes and segments. The basic compositional elements
combine to diagrammatically describe situations or aspects of the human condition.
Flirtation, courtship, penetration, fission and fusion are some of the processes that are
found.
Most often, periodic wave forms (the basic analog elements) are used as image source. The
temporal makeup and iconic video display of these wave forms have the evocative power of
archetypal forms and myth. The essential structure of these wave forms, a periodic change
over time that defines a shape (sine, triangle, ramp, etc.), belongs to a whole class of
primordial rhythmic experiences. They participate in, and express, the natural and physical
ordering principles of our environment. "
