Video info

This animation is an infinite zoom experience, designed to have specific effects on the mental state of the viewer. After a few minutes watching, the viewer’s thinking mind is quieted and the viewer settles into a pleasant flow state, characterised by quiet focus and enhanced creativity. The viewer is relaxed but alert with enhanced mental functioning.

I chose tracks without lyrics, so that the thinking parts of the brain are not engaged and are allowed to go quiet. These tracks from Passion - Music for The Last Temptation of Christ feel both purposeful and forward-moving, but also mysterious and a little bit magical–perfect for these visuals! The piece is over five minutes long and I find that when I get to the end I want it to keep going. Maybe I will do a longer version!

Song info:

‘Scorsese had asked for a new type of score that was neither ancient nor modern, that was not a pastiche but had clear references to the region, traditions and atmospheres, but was in itself a living thing.’
