Rhythm of the Halves is a visual narrative made in opposition to conventional story-telling and editing. In the editing process, the script is filtered through multiple interpretive layers to generate a stochastic sequence.
The process to achieve a machine-generated and human-assisted film follows these steps:
1. Collect video footage of surrounding objects, events, locations.
2. Transcribe or encode video information into text description.
3. Organize the produced text into a consecutive string of events. This is the primary script.
4. Shuffle the primary script using a software or algorithm of your choice – such as a Markov chain generator. This is a secondary script. Repeat until a desired result is produced.
5. Edit the favored secondary script for grammar and continuity to taste.
6. Finally, decode the text into a visual narrative using the previously collected footage.
A fever dream of dual consciousness.
