  001 Organic System 03  

The first installment of Urban Video Project was a success last Thursday, though frigid temps and a few feet of snow kept many people at home. Two local news crews came by, and a story about UVP aired on the 11 o'clock news that night. Local news is awesome.

Click here for an excerpt of Organic System 03 in its source format.

Organic System 03 describes a subjective cartography of the city of Syracuse, NY. Objects reminiscent of biological cells are connected by structures resembling dendrites. The placement of objects implies an organic, non-conscious formation of connections and pathways. At intervals individual cells or groups of cells come forward, and video of a specific location in Syracuse is shown inside. The video locations inside the cells transform the biological scene into a map.
