“Gyre 27-29“ are three related works of computational digital video meant to be displayed together. Each begins with a stratified collection of cold-hued natural colors which then systematically evolve into a disordered tangle of vortices and waves. A gyre is a circular or spiral motion or form, and the term usually refers to the largest-scale rotational motions of the Earth's oceans. These structures, like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, are large and long-lived. The colors used allow the scene to be interpreted as either motions on the global ocean or the dynamic activity of waves in a seascape. Slow, ubiquitous motion accentuates the longevity of the gyre, and careful detail implies scale. As seen at COLLISION16:fluid at Axiom Gallery Feb-Mar 2011.
