ASPECTS of SPUN POLYHEDRA: PLATONICS (2015)

This piece is part of an exploration of my ongoing obsession with visual artifacts — specifically, in this case, the wagon-wheel effect .

While relatively simple to create, documenting a ‘clean’ performance of this piece presented some interesting challenges, including tearing, gamma, compression, and transcoding issues, all due to the tight, drastic changes in lighting dynamics. The most salient compromise - banding related to JPEG compression - is prominent.

More interesting, though, were issues related to the nature of this recording as documentation of a live performance. Keep an eye on the news section of this site for a future writeup.

Viewing in 60FPS in a darkened space with headphones turned up loud strongly recommended. The usual, really.

Straight-up does not work on mobile. Requires 60FPS playback or you will be confused.
