"I would like to swim against the stream of time: I would like to erase the consequences of certain events and restore an initial condition. But every moment of my life brings with it an accumulation of new facts and each of these new facts brings with it its consequences; so the more I seek to return to the zero moment from which I set out, the further I move away from it; though all my actions are bent on erasing the consequences of previous actions and though I manage to achieve appreciable results in this erasure, enough to open my heart to hopes of immediate relief, I must, however, bear in mind that my every move to erase previous events provokes a rain of new events... Therefore I must calculate carefully every move so as to achieve the maximum of erasure with the minimum of re-complication."

Trying to simplify the visual flow of a batch of serendipitous, shaky beach footage, Sam Renseiw applied simple software to re-frame the seen in an more "matrix" like manner, with semi-panoramic glides.

"My ambition, as voodler, my point, I would go so far as to say my fixation, my constant fixation, is primarily to concoct an artefact as original as it may be illuminating, an artefact that would, or just possibly might, act as a stimulant on notions of construction, of narration, of plotting, of action, a stimulant, in a word, on re-"reading" moving images of today."

Still imbued by a strong sense of mono no aware, Sam Renseiw collaged the recorded footage of yesterday into a mystified flow, complete with aural cosmic pow-pow and submerged signals.
