We Are All Made of Light by Lisa Gwilliam & Ray Sweeten (@DataSpaceTime, @150mediastream, @microscope_gallery ) presents a visual deconstruction of the artists’ bodies, movements, and identities into floating video fragments. As a way to probe the fragility of our perceptions of ourselves and others, the artists on screen appear to alternate between gestures of reaching out to the viewer and contracting inward. The work combines original analog and digital video footage inserted into an infinitely generative 3D environment composed live and programmed by the duo. Sweeten and Gwilliam’s figures are filled with shifting color spectrums and often move as if battling or shielding themselves from floating 3D objects. They repeatedly appear distorted by video feedback before dissolving into countless particles of moving light.

The work uses as its starting point analog video developed during a residency at Experimental Television Center, interwoven with new video material shot by the artists focusing on choreographed human gestures that are passed through video colorizers. The human figures are then abstracted within the generative virtual 3D space developed by the artists’ custom WebGL application. The video content is fragmented across fields of animated geometries that function as pixels as they spread out into space, suggesting a limitation as to how we are seen as well as how we see ourselves.

As the work slowly transitions from an integrated image to a pixelated array of geometries, details of the artists’ bodies and original video material are brought to the foreground. These geometries act as a microscopic view of a larger organism, each with its own compositional parameters and internal “rules.” The video blades of 150 Media Stream extend this fragmentation by further breaking down the visual material, forcing the eye to make sense of implied perspective across a broken field of vision.

LATER EXPERIMENTS IN VIDEO FEEDBACK:
21st-century works find the artists extending and expanding the experiments of their predecessors in ingenious ways, either by shooting with a modified video camera (Ian Helliwell), filming televisual feedback loops with a Super-8mm camera (Guillaume Vallée), showcasing the internet’s capacity for new kinds of feedback (LoVid’s INFINITELY UNRESOLVED), or exploring the potentialities of entirely new kinds of digital and computer-generated feedback (Mike Stoltz and Lisa Gwilliam & Ray Sweeten).

PROGRAM:
Ian Helliwell LIGHT ACTIVATION FEEDBACK 2010, 2.5 min, digital
Ian Helliwell PROTEAN FEEDBACK 2016, 5.5 min, digital
Ian Helliwell MULTIFORM FEEDBACK 2022, 5 min, digital
Robert Beatty CRACKED SCREEN TEST 2016, 3.5 min, digital
Guillaume Vallée SELF-TALK WITH NOTHINGNESS 2017, 4 min, Super-8mm-to-digital
Guillaume Vallée WHAT IS BEYOND THE HELLRAISER? 2017, 2.5 min, Super-8mm-to-digital
Mike Stoltz TOMORROW: IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN 2022, 7.5 min, digital
Lisa Gwilliam & Ray Sweeten (DataSpaceTime) SURFACE TENSION 2017, 3 min, digital
Lisa Gwilliam & Ray Sweeten (DataSpaceTime) ORTS 2023, 4 min, digital
