why a circular site?
Possibly subconsciously referencing Infinite Jest, now I have explored further and am interested in Nietzsche’s concept of Eternal return, put simply; “The universe has no starting or ending state, while the matter comprising it is constantly changing its state. The number of possible changes is finite, and so sooner or later the same state will recur.” I find something attractively defeatist in...

what kind of film do i want to make?

Storyboard
Recreate all in AE – more control and easier leap to proposition

Circle – feedback loop, how to articulate, how to provoke

They cannot be counted because each unit has a qualitative character: a style of tactile apprehension and kinesthetic appropriation. Their swarming mass is an innumerable collection of singularities.

Watchrotoscoping girl test with hand drawing
WatchA quick test of camera mapping my drawing in AE/pshop cs4. I’m not sure where the white square at the front comes from, its only occasionally in the composition, and there arent any extra layers.
