"Mixed Signals" by Steve and Melissa Kornicki (excerpts from original 17 minute video)

Images consist of television filmed through textured and stained glass

Music: Altered Orchestra #3, for processed orchestra samples (Steve Kornicki)
Orchestra samples: Extracted from Steve Kornicki's "Morning Star Rising", originally performed by the Kiev Philharmonic
Original duration: 17 minutes, 31 seconds

The full length video consists of four sections of varying musical and visual material. Everyday television content and familiar orchestral sounds are distorted, transformed and layered into a seamless collage creating a mesmerizing experience. The subject of the visualizations is a television screen filmed using close camera zooms through textured and colored glass which reveals an as of yet unseen landscape of refracted light, filtered color and kaleidoscopic patterns. Aside from visual cross-fades, stacking of video clips and looping techniques, the video is presented as it was filmed. The continuum of overlapping video and audio textures represents the constant presence of energy (television signals, recorded sounds) and the incessant barrage of media and its impact on our senses.
