Algorithmic cinema, a reenactment of a scene from Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 film Body Heat.

installation with custom software

2002

In this installation, the viewer enters a darkened room to see a red suitcase and a large projection. The red suitcase contains hardware and software that algorithmically plays back footage of a dramatic love scene enacted by two actors. Custom computer software selects these clips according to ever-changing patterns, creating a continuous live remix, projected at cinematic scale. Music by Dan Abrams.
