The Liminal Series

Eva Lee

Imagines nature's scales, from the minuteness of subatomic particles to the immensity of an expanding universe, within a context of digital distortions such as pixilation, color artifacts, and irregular time lapses. The series is nine short, abstract, silent digital animations. White dots and dashes move against a black ground, dissolving and reappearing in complex patterns of indefinite scale. Created based on the paradigm of evolution, each successive animation builds upon the complexities of its predecessors by compressing, enlarging, and/or embedding previous ones into future ones. Manipulations repeatedly over different generations produced distortions, such as irregular time lapses, pixelation, and color artifacts. The series ends with the last animation which is distorted to the point of graphic breakdown.
