Waterfall

Gil Kuno

“Waterfall” is about the singularity of chaos. The animated sequence is mapped from footage of a waterfall in Vienna, Austria.  “Waterfall” makes use of flip dot display technology from the 1960’s often used on bus and airport destination signs. Though normally for text, they have been programmed to run animations. In nature, one can find various dualities/pluralities: dark/light, sun/moon, etc. At a waterfall, the chaos of the water is a constant throughout the day – a universal singularity. Since the flip dot technology expresses content in a hard black/white duality, I wanted to articulate singularity with it.
