Wright & Van 't Hoog explore the orchestration of short video sequences to form abstract time based compositions. The edited video is constructed from short video observations of daily phenomena. Lifting video observations from their normative context and composing them in both harmonic and incongruous juxtaposition asks the viewer to look more closely at the incidental visual poetry held in these simple observations of daily phenomena. The video sequences have been orchestrated to generate a tightly constructed interplay between colour harmonics, rhythmic movement and spatial readings which lifts the observations to a highly abstracted exchange. The cropping, framing and timing of the video sequence effectively generates a ‘concrete art’ animation.
Wright & Van 't Hoog 'Orpheus trio' was created from short video clips of every day phenomena orchestrated to create a concrete art animation (seven minutes duration) which is projected onto a sculptural planar structure called 'dazzle'. Philip Mead has generated an intense set of piano improvisations in six iterations, each one exploiting a different potential of the piano. This work was premiered in Centrum Beelden de Kunst Emmen and is currently on display until 22 June 14. Artist Van 't Hoog is a based in Amsterdam. Wright and Mead are lecturers at University of Hertfordshire.
