Engine Trouble
2005
Oil and steel; fluid and metal. Engine Trouble celebrates and spoofs all those commercials for motor products in which liquid and iron entwine. A single image of a Harley Davidson engine is digitally animated; to produce a swirling mass of metal. Using max/msp/jitter the movement of the image is scanned to produce the 'engine' for the soundtrack.
Screened at: Video under Volcano, Milan (2006), Cog Collective, London (2006), Camera Obscura, Chipendale, Australia (2007), Memorial Art Gallery Hastings (2009).
