From the moment i started watching the video i was captivated and rendered speechless.
Noah Feehans video art project 'Steak Filter vo' is a masterpiece.
In this visually abstract work a signal is passed through a raw steak as it cooks, changing and deteriorating alongside the meat.
Of the project Noah says "I'm trying to get at the reflexivity of live video -the taut line between the space and the image that results. It's possible to think of almost anything that mediates as a filter of some kind, sort of a "the-map-is-not-the-territory" territory." OMG.
He goes on to say...
"Part of my interest in video lies in its exploded body; the signal is a ghost that resonates and deforms, trapped in our waveguides: when the system powers down the image fades into incoherence, leaving no corpse behind. Steak Filter gives body to this infinite recursion, making it real; incarnate. With this corporeality comes mortality: as the meat sputters and pops, we watch the cascade of images until finally, the steak is done."
Simply beautiful!
