‘Untitled [Sao Paulo]’ uses images of Sao Paulo from Google Street View, transforming them from their typical use in navigation or documentation into an animation that has a nonlinear timeline. His video art considers the one-way interactivity of internet streaming as a barrier to communication and this video attempts to depict the topological landscape and multiplicity of the city over a nonlinear time frame. The image-processing visualizes the material that travels across the boundaries of sites and the resident’s cognitive attachment to it.
