| Description | Border Control and Other Experiments are investigations into data moshing: the intentional corruption of video data for creative purposes. Hacking video data alters not just the spatial composition of a film but also how it changes over time, allowing a person’s movement to affect the image, smudging and blurring pixels from one frame to the next. Data moshing can be seen as a way of giving control back to the subject. It inverts the traditional filmmaking process, where the camera and, ultimately, the director would have final say. In Border Control, data moshing is used to disrupt the footage taken from an airport departure zone. The actions of the travellers affect not just the edges of their own bodies but also the edges of everything else within the frame; including, what might be considered, the symbolic borders of international territories. |
