4 computers, 4 videos, ouput to 4 LCD screens
a 4-channel asycronous video installation made up of videos downloaded from the Inernet of "Speed Paintings". Each "Speed Painting" artist has uploaded time-lapsed documentation of their photoshop labor, making photorealistc portraits of each of the castmembers of the T.V. series LOST. Now pulled from the web, the videos have been slowed down to 2-3% of their posted duration to reflect the exact amount of time that their original authors claim to have taken to produce them. The 4 works in the installation run from 2.5 to 4 hours; each at immenslely slow framerates; always in motion, but barely discernable to the human eye.
