Jack has a screen shot about editing with constraints. This is though only one way to think about constraints. It could also be by pitch, volume, when a particular sound occurs. Lucasmm has found a rhythm. Lydia thinks about murmurations and whole small things might be combined to make complex large things, and how the project is an exquisite corpse. I think there’s an important difference between these two concepts, exquisite corpse is a procedure for making work that has a rule or constraint that is applied one at a time over time. The murmuration on the other hand is a more complex feedback system that continually takes input, more or less in real time, and uses this to create an output. In the way we’ve been talking, your films are the former, a camera or microphone is the latter. Isobel too has four useful bullet points here. And to round this off Jack has a great summary of one of the raison d’être’s of this studio. Bravo.
