METAGRAPH ANIMATION #18 // This audiovisual work is based on the eponymous vector-based digital drawing created in 2004. This particular piece is notable as one of the few compositions from my Metagraph series incorporating a photographic component. The original image was derived from long-exposure photography of streetlights taken in Manhattan's East Village in the late 1990’s. The film image of motion trails was scanned, vectorized and reworked digitally to create the original composition in 2004.  It has been reborn on the blockchain as an animated NFT 19 years later, accompanied by an original soundscape collaged together in a stream-of-consciousness style pastiche. This work is informed by a diverse range of sources, including Hard-edge painting, Op Art, and the automatic drawings of the Surrealists. This work is my first NFT minted in 2023, minted on January 23.
