OK SWALLOW GREAT, 2020. Two-channel HD video, 08:32 minutes and 08:02 minutes running unsynchronised

OK SWALLOW GREAT explores the connections and disconnections of physical and digital realities. Real footage is juxtaposed with Google 3D algorithmic visualisations, and the membranes between these are pierced through text, interrogating what happens between these versions of reality. The film was shot during a research trip looking at man-made structures bracketing water in the deserts of California, funded by the BOISE Travel Scholarship. The videos are unsynchronised, allowing new connections to form between word and image at every loop.
