Kaleidoscopic Landscape explores the relationship between nostalgia and our perception of technologically mediated landscapes. The film was created by appropriating footage from speedruns of old 8-bit video games and then editing together their scrolling landscapes to produce Rorschach patterns of the evolving game world. These landscapes were corrupted using glitch techniques to generate psychedelic abstractions that rapidly accelerate through two-dimensional space. With each film in the series, the same landscape is multiplied and arranged so that the scrolling patterns become increasingly complex. By interfacing the viewer with these retro visions of technology, the installation serves to challenge the knowledge underlying our perception of scrolling movement. In this way, the work operates through a kind of post-game, or rather, considers the medium of interactive play (and particularly the mechanics of scrolling) not through functionality, utility, or ability to offer incentive and reward, but as a pure aesthetic form; sensual pleasures derived from the dynamics of abstract patterns composed of pixels, tiles, and color palettes.
