This collection of scratch films, accessed through QR Codes, intricately weaves the earliest repository of time—the moving image—with contemporary technological interfaces. The fusion of time-honored scratch film techniques and the seamless accessibility facilitated by QR Codes serves as a deliberate departure from conventional notions surrounding the encapsulation of time within artistic mediums.
The juxtaposition of historical and modern media not only elucidates the historical trajectory of temporal representation but also invites contemplation on the inherent malleability of temporality. Navigating the interplay between traditional scratch film aesthetics and QR Code accessibility encourages viewers to interrogate preconceived ideas about the boundaries constraining temporal dimensions in artistic expression.
In this convergence of analog and digital realms, the project dynamically explores the confines of temporality, prompting reflection on the metamorphosis of perceptual and organizational paradigms for time across epochs of technological progress. The amalgamation of mediums pays homage to the foundational roots of time-based art while concurrently challenging observers to reconsider the fundamental nature of temporality within the ever-evolving context of technological landscapes.
The first medium to store time was the moving image, yet how time is then sorted and confined continues to evolve. This compilation of scratch films viewable through QR Codes conflate old and new technology, while also complicating the notion of how time based things can be confined.
