original (TR-808/Simmons SDSV) version at :   / sensou  

music video for one of my latest tracks called SENSOU, consisting of audio synced cuts, created via various image destruction/decimation techniques incl. simulated slit-scans, extreme timestretching, displacement, datamoshing and scripted luma-based offsets.

displacement - the reordering and rearrangement of the body
datamosh - the obliteration of being across anthropomorphic strata

a collection of paraphilic dreamscapes via pornographic elements of war & horror.
pornography as atrocity imagery (of a different perspective).
desire, consumption and information - visual decimation as dissection.
fetishistic fragmentation - recreation, leisure and death.
death of affect - dissociation and responsibility.
chasms of the body - recalibration of physiology.

"violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game"
JG Ballard
"the human organism is an atrocity exhibition at which he is an unwilling spectator ..."
JG Ballard 1990
"photography has done at least as much to deaden conscience as to arouse it"
Susan Sontag 1977

they found her up in the coal - they're bringing her down now
here comes a candle - to light you to bed
here comes a chopper- to chop off your head
chip, chop, chip, chop - the last one's dead

it's incredible.
Europe lies dormant..
there's a man with a horse harnessed to a wagon
the wagon loaded with apples
very peaceful...

- the element of crime /Lars von Trier 1984 - 'oranges & lemons' nursery rhyme

i choose Hell .. hell .. is my - preference
hell .. is my - natural - habitat
