This short film traces the origin of what is so often mistaken to be “our” thoughts, back to the beginning of the cosmos, and up to and including the overheated, mass-mediated mental climate changes of the present.
Merritt Symes is a video artist who creates audio-visual “resonance machines” from both found and original footage. Her short films attempt to capture a glimpse of the unsayable or unconveyable, and are concerned with creaturely lives, uncanny affinities, impersonal intimacies, the unraveling of forms, and the spaces between things.
