ETERNAL SELF PORTRAIT - A VIDEO COLLAGE


WARNING: This video project contains flashing lights and loud music.

ROLE

Video Editor, Coder, Programmer

CONTEXT

This is an in-progress video installation I made as a project for my Digital Arts and Experimental Media class. 

Using Python, I made an algorithm that plays a different video, indefinitely. After each cycle, it creates a new sequence of clips. The clips are visuals that I've created, and visuals that have influenced me (I purposely left out any videos of myself). The idea behind this project is that you cannot explain yourself in a single minute. This solves that problem. Currently, there are 45 segments to every loop, and each segment has 10 possible clips to play. I plan to add more clips for every segment over time.
