Botborg - Principle 8

Artist name: Botborg - Scott Sinclair, Joe Musgrove Original title: Principle 8 Year of production: 2005 Running time: 4 minutes Original format: DV PAL 4:3 Color Stereo Sound Country of production: Australia Summary: Recorded in real-time, “Principle 8“ demonstrates to the viewer the high level of control Botborg has over their custom audio-visual feedback system. Spats of agitated white flicker and play over a moving black canvas, threatening to erupt but somehow maintaining an equilibrium within monochrome. Finally, the screen is overturned by a disturbed glitch before being taken over by explosions of blinding color and reaching a loud and violent ending wholly appropriate to Botborg’s synaesthetic approach.
