click for video: Quicktime version / Flash version

"A true voodle is more than a visual structure or series of visual structures; it is the dialogue it establishes with its viewer(s) and the intonation it imposes upon his/her gaze and the changing and durable images it leaves in their memory. A voodle is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships."

Voodling some recent windjammer footage into a new piece, Sam Renseiw realised that conditions of simultaneity sometimes resist fixed geographical positioning. Presence can be many places, all at once. What might be Passat could as well be Peking, and vice-versa. For ship-o-hoy experience click here or on the links above.
