Digitally linking mountain imagery collected from bottled water graphics around the world, a cinematic tracking shot is forged using video effects to unite these simulations into a single topography, constructing an exploration experience along a new and refreshing frontier. This re-purposed landscape is continuously expanded as the source material is replenished, enabling a virtual expedition of eternal proportions.
Jessie Stead (New York) experiments with re-mixable and overlapping patterns of cross-disciplined media, poetics of digital and material subjection, production and distribution parodies, etc. Often posing as a film director in an on-going real life performance work, Stead’s single channel motion-pictures have been featured internationally at film festivals and museum engagements. Installations, music, ephemera, and events orchestrated by Stead have been presented at mixed New York area venues and many other places. www.jessiestead.com
