HRRAAGHP-TING! is an Internet/video collaboration. Using programming developed to connect image filenames to sound filenames readily available on the web, the piece establishes an infinite chain of associations. This information is then extruded in real time, linking the data in a linear format where related and non-related files are turned into a series of stills and soundtracks.
HRRAAGHP-TING! converts the Internet into a cinematic experience by collapsing the internet's spatial organization within a single screen. The relationship of one image or sound to the next is based on a randomized process achieved through an algorithmic construction. Each time HRRAAGHP-TING! is used, it generates an entirely different set of visual, aural and linguistic relationships. This Cagean play with chance destabilizes the intent and authorship implicit in the communication of information; perverts intellectual property through rampant decontextualization; and defies the expectations of the viewer through this live reorganization. Objects speak, portraits combust, landscapes squeal. The user is betrayed and unsure how to organize the relationships between image, text and sound. At times the sound syncs with the image, heightening its drama and its capacity for affect, almost giving voice to the image. Other times, the image and sound do not correspond, leaving the viewer with little more than an articulated confusion punctuated with unpredictable moments of irony, empathy and distance. "A [manufactured] table stands with its feet on the ground. But, in relation to all other commodities, it stands on its head, and evolves out of its wooden brain grotesque ideas, far more wonderful than table-turning ever was." K. Marx, Capital. visit the HRRAAGHP-TING! website
a project in collabortion with Olen Hsu and Steven Lam.
