Excerpt from a 34 minute film.
Directed and Produced by Diego Samper, in collaboration with jamie griffiths (Editor, Co-designer) and Steve Wright (Composer).
PANOPTICON is made from approx 1000 photographs taken by Diego Samper inside a Panopticon prison built inthe late 1800's, in Ibagua province in Colombia. The full length film is an immersion into the psyche of imprisonment through the graffiti art that was left behind on the prison walls when they were moved to a new modern high tech prison. A Panopticon architectural design allows constant observation without oneself being observed.
The film was a commission of the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival in 2010, and received an Honorable Mention at the Bogota International Film Festival in 2011. The film is to be an installation that also includes original photographs from the film's source images, at the Bogota Museum of Modern Art in March 2012.
3D knots generating sound from the structure of the knot, as it draws itself and relaxes according to mathematical programming by Rob Scharein using his own software KnotPlot. This is an ongoing project. Rob and I will be doing a live improvisation performance in anaglyph 3D using this particular visio-sonic development within KnotPlot as well as an earlier iteration of KnotPlot called 'KPShadows' which was used in Oct 2010 for a live performance of 'Water to Bone' in collaboration with vocalist Viviane Houle.
The new performance's working title is 'Orbita' and is happening in Vancouver on Dec 15 2011. Jamie will be using her new wireless performance instrument called I.T. to allow gestural control of many of the knot parameters and performing alongside Rob Scharein.
