A form of video art in which video and audio are presented in a randomised manner (using scripts to manipulate GPRM Registers in the DVD player) such that the work presents a unique experience on each play, rendering the experience of the work effectively endless.
· DVD-based, a portable medium
· The authoring side is technical, however the end user requires only a modern DVD player plus a method of display (projector, TV, etc).
· No technical setup required on end user’s part.
· Effectively infinite (randomised) in length.
· Each play is aimed to be a unique experience for the end user.
· Accessible because DVD format is familiar and affordable to majority of audience – can be enjoyed in the home or office, for example.
· The DVD does not function as a record of the art, or an art event, but as the artistic work itself. It therefore can be considered as a type of multiple
Precedents - To my knowledge, no one has used randomised GPRM registers to create video art previously, however there are precedents of previous work
· Tom Ellard, Carillon, 2003: an infinite ambient DVD which interrogates player registers for random performance. Ellard is the creator of the underlying technical process behind this technique.
· Jem Finer, Long Player, 2008: a 1000 year performance of music in Halberstadt Germany – may utilize the techniques described
· Tom Ellard, Album 10542304 (DVD Section), 2008: an adaptation of Carillon as the DVD part of his production thesis Album 10542304, University of Technology Sydney Australia 2008
