The problem of sub-molecular perception is a participatory collaboration in the form of an experimental video. Developing a custom built audiovisual tool to disrupt and degrade images and video, we experimented with different source video and imagery. This tool gave us real-time performative access to the source material, as opposed to the linear processes of more commonly used editing and effects software. In this digital process there was a blinding at play, we were attempting to represent something that we only have theoretical knowledge of, rather than a phenomena we have experienced with our own bodies and sensory systems. We were not trying to explicitly represent sub-molecular phenomena, but to create a sense of probability, dynamism, wave-particle duality, and uncertainty. The highly abstract visuals combine with a documentary voiceover that anchors the viewer’s experience of the images within the physical sub-molecular realm.
