Robert Seidel – Magnitude

30 Nov

Robert Seidel created long-exposure time-based laser drawings based on the mountain terrain of the San Andreas Fault. To begin, Seidel derived each laser pattern from creating digital line drawings: gestural markings suggestive of curve progressions seen within the Richter Scale or tectonic deformations. These minimalist sketches were manipulated into complex transformational sequences scribed by the laser onto the desert’s topology.

FLUORESCENT

11 Nov

A short film journeying into a microcosm of darkness and fluorescence.

Created with ferrofluid, UV lights, fluorescent watercolours, paints, inks and oils. With the presence of a magnetic field, ferrofluid and kaleidoscopic substances form mesmerising and surreal patterns. Using a HFR camera and macro lens, I captured these visuals before they vanished back into darkness.
