Film Lens
In 'The Eight Alps,' artist and performer Simon Whetham presents a solo audiovisual experience that captures the essence of the Alps through live visuals and sound. The performance was featured during the closing night of the Alchemy Film Festival in 2019 and utilizes distorted and pixelated imagery to create a unique visual landscape. The visuals simulate a crashed desktop, reflecting the intersection of nature and technology.
The audio component consists of short atonal tracks that complement the visuals. As hawks glide above the mountains, their movements create glitchy trails on the screen, emphasizing the relationship between the natural environment and digital representation. The film lasts for 8 minutes and is directed by Jacques Perconte.
