Distillation/ Cinema Redux

Brendan Dawes’ Cinema Redux project is refreshingly real — he has created a small piece of software that samples a movie every second and generates an 8 x 6 pixel image. It does this for the entire film, with each row representing one minute of film time. The resulting image is random and unified at once. I of course am draw to it because I’m drawn to multiples in any form. However, there is a bit of voyeurism here, almost as if each of these is a window we can’t quite look into. It seems that I’m not the only person impressed, MOMA is including this project in a 2008 exhibition. I look forward to seeing these in person. Not to mention — Dawes’ website is worth a trip alone. His use of videoclips is unique and changes the experience of using his website.
