Forrest Dance

East Ballroom C
Forrest Dance - is an art video using advance AI movement transfer techniques - submitted are excerpts from two parts of it ( the beginning and the end). It speaks to how trees wake each morning and dance (main video) and by nightfall eventually becoming pure light dancers (supplementary1 video). It is a piece about the environment and nature - how all beings have consciousness in their own way. I grew up in NYC but now love that I live in Deep Cove, BC - deep in the woods. I hike everyday and have certain trees that I view as friends over the years, such as these trees (supplementary2 and 3 images). I photograph/video and use them in my artwork in the way that I see them in my head. Much of my 30+ year AI still, installation and video art work brings in movement, emotion and dance - and a love of nature. This work is an art video - that while 15 minutes long - I am open to editing it for the art exhibit.
