KARISSA HAHN • 10m
A video is a stream of information and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames which are algorithmically determined....
In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated.

IN EFFLUENCE ACCORD; EMULSION
Musings of leeway, an illusive figure emerges from the emulsion.
