The first video could be taken loads of ways and isn’t intended as a profound statement; rather it is based around a particular thought and as something i could come back to and develop and direct my understanding of where i am going with this....
The idea behind this was the concept of ‘Transcendence’ hence the title and has two sides of it for me... the first is about transcending normal reality. In the case of this video juxtaposing sounds and images to create something new i.e. by placing something virtual into an objective reality. The sound on the video wasn’t recorded on the same day or at the same time as the video so at time of recording the video it didn’t exist; in this sense the sound is virtual.
The next idea was about temporal experience and how from a western perspective things develop over time in anticipation of a destination. Once you get there you wonder what it was that made you begin the journey in the first place. It is the same as most prominent religions in this country today; slightly nihilistic. Rejecting the present in favour of some promised destination (or salvation) at the end of a journey.
