"Homage to Eadweard Muybridge. A historical Muybridge photo grid is put into an electronic video signal space. Working with collected postcards, in this case, the durational photo series by the 19th century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this video re-enacts the proto-cinema moment using two varyingly synchronized b+w video cameras and a video keyer. The movement effect is created by detuning the horizontal and vertical video sychronization of one of the video cameras. One of the video camera’s image remains still while the other drifts horizontally and vertically at varying speeds. Drift and doubling takes place. When the video camera’s horizontal frequency doubles the man appears to double up, on top of himself. A basic video signal structure, sync, along with a basic video process, keying, together create a cinema like shutter, creating a crude persistence of vision machine. The physical structures of the time-detuned and keyed video signals bring to Muybridge's photogrid a new electronic animation of false movements. Keying the second moving camera image over the first, the real-time composite ironically creates the shutter like film (cinema) effect.
