Robert Darroll: Digital Animations, 1990-2001
Between 1990 and 2001, Robert Darroll explored inter-cultural mythology through the use of digital technology in works that combined computer graphics, cel animation, and live action video into five multi-layered visual and auditory collages. These works are now being released on DVD for the first time.
Bill Alves creates unfrozen mandalas, intricate arabesques of sound and light. His videos are neither images accompanied by music or vice-versa but instead conceived and constructed as single artistic creations that use sonic and visual components the way earlier composers deployed various orchestral instruments.
Alves’ background as a composer as well as a visual artist has enabled a precise counterpoint between images and these soundtracks composed for electronics, a string quartet, a Javanese gamelan orchestra, and a symphony orchestra. The coherence of these animations emerges not only from their creator”™s singular artistic vision, but also from their shared inspiration.
