Spherical Harmonics is about the strange power of the CG image. It's a fantasy under construction, full of digitally created memories, counterfeit physics and controlled accidents.
Overview
Spherical Harmonics is about the strange power of the CG image. It's a fantasy under construction, full of digitally created memories, counterfeit physics and controlled accidents. A place where reality fails because it's too perfect.
The film is was created in just six weeks and exhibited between January and April 2014 at The Photographers Gallery in London. Spherical Harmonics sits stylistically at a halfway point between the glossy product displays of Oxford Street and the workhouse construction of Soho’s post production scene. Commissioned by Animate Projects and The Photographers' Gallery with support from Arts Council England.
