No Sleep Till...

2004, 2:55 min, color, sound

Here LoVid composes a strobing synesthetic landscape of image and sound that is equal parts glitchy animation and input from an analog synthesizer. Made at the close of their residency at the Experimental Television Center in Oswego, New York, No Sleep Till... combines semi-familiar shapes with buzzing video signal and tonal noise. The piece sees the collision of two visual worlds, whose complementary movements create an at times overwhelming juxtaposition and at others unexpected harmony. States LoVid, "To explore the idea of a parallel world where media is physical and organic, we make objects that we envision as relics from another civilization's flow of media. We imagine that these migrate from that world into our own, resulting in forms that are very layered, textured, and awkward."
