This collaborative work is a fusion of imaginary and music expressing an ever-changing flux and paradox in perceived space and location and involving notions of navigation, geometry, and mapping.The animated imagery derives from hand painting and etching on 35 mm clear and black motion picture film. While digitizing, the film was physically bent, twisted, rotated and treated to a number of hands-on manipulations. The images then underwent further visual transformation in digital post production.The music was largely an intuitive process. the basic sound sources including thumb piano, pygmy pipe and gamelan metallophone tones, were digitally transformed and then contrapuntally layered, inter-cut, diced and threaded into a pulsating «spider web» design suggested by a visual imagery.
Terra Incognita was directed by Stephanie Maxwell.
Terra Incognita runs for 5min, and was released in 2001.
