In Search of The Real: Spikes

Overview

"In Search of The Real: Glitches" (a simultaneous work, shown at Towner in the East Sussex Open 2014) was a response to a disenchantment with the current global social/political environment. A glitch is also referred to as a spike of electrical current. A spike seems more hopeful than a glitch. This video is one of a series which make use of found videos that originally imparted a philosophical or spiritual argument. It explores a state of continual flux, dissolving realities and poses questions of possibility. Does art facilitate a liberation of the mind? I am finding that the more liberated my thinking becomes the more is revealed that was previously un-seen/heard. "In Search of The Real: Spikes" is one of those oddities where effort and serendipity meet, colliding at 2min46 when the audio states of its own accord that it is an artist.
