dc.description.abstract	Lichtrythmus.02 is projection refraction object. Using an iPad as a projection source I created approx. 5 minutes of animated / film content that is then projected up and through planes of perspex contained in black viewing box. I designed an object in the form of a black box with a viewing aperature through which viewers are able to view the digital animation as reflected montage seen through the planes of perspex. The film content comprises original visualised animation motion capture, slow motion stock video and excerpts of Walter Ruttman's animation sequence from Fritz Lang's film "Die Nebelungen". The work is inspired by the flight of Wotan's two magical ravens from Wagers "Gotterdammerung".	en_US

pubs.rights-statement	Wagnerlicht was a multimedia exhibition that marked the bicentenary of German composer Richard Wagner’s birth. The exhibition sought to reinterpret Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle) and consisted of sound and light installations, designed and fabricated by innovative emerging and established artists and designers. Lichtrythmus .02 is an interactive installation comprised of three video channels. The work reinterprets a passage from The Ring Cycle where a white dove symbolising Sigfried, is attacked by two black ravens. The three channels consist of visualised motion capture data from Walter Ruttman’s animation Dream of the Hawks (from the 1924 Fritz Lang film Die Nibelungen) and a slow motion video of a raven in flight. The refraction mechanism used in Lichtrythmus .02 explores the relationship between three intersecting video segments of the natural world, motion capture animation and traditional animation as a site of investigation to examine the nature of montage. The significance of this work is the exploration of refraction mechanism as a tool in the analysis of film montage and creates a greater understanding of Deleuze’s classifications of the Perceived Image, Action Image, and Affection Image. The work was first exhibited at Sydney Conservatorium of Music for Sydney Vivid Festival of Light, Music & Ideas and later toured to the Bachhaus Museum in Eisenach, Germany and to the Arts Centre Melbourne for the Wagner Arts Festival. Wagnerlicht was curated by Michael Day (Australia) and Ingo Bracke (Germany).	en_US

Abstract:

Lichtrythmus.02 is projection refraction object. Using an iPad as a projection source I created approx. 5 minutes of animated / film content that is then projected up and through planes of perspex contained in black viewing box. I designed an object in the form of a black box with a viewing aperature through which viewers are able to view the digital animation as reflected montage seen through the planes of perspex. The film content comprises original visualised animation motion capture, slow motion stock video and excerpts of Walter Ruttman's animation sequence from Fritz Lang's film "Die Nebelungen". The work is inspired by the flight of Wotan's two magical ravens from Wagers "Gotterdammerung".
