Using the digital camera and/or Photoshop, you are to create a still image that records a specific motion event, with an emphasis on information and illustration.

Your image should read as photographic in nature, but may or not take the form of a conventional pictorial depiction (ie., it may read as "abstract" as long as it is still informative.)

Choose a subject for which the record of motion will be new and interesting - that is, something so elusive as to be rarely captured, so banal as to be overlooked, or even so shocking as to be irresistible.

Convey as much information about your chosen movement as possible. Only use information that helps us understand the movement. Your choice of method is as important as your choice of subject.

Using Adobe Imageready, create a simple animation that functions well as a loop - when we watch the sequence, we may see repetitions, but these repetitions must be possible to read as distinct events in time. The goals of the project are:

• further mastery of Photoshop, digital imaging, the Macintosh environment
• addition of Adobe Imageready to your technical skills
• experimentation with the illusion of movement
• exploration of the loop as a formal device
• further exploration of modes of depicting time
• effective connection of form to content

For this project, you'll invent your own framerate.

Decide on how many pictures you want to take to capture a motion or event, and how fast you want to play it back. Use a digital still camera to take your pictures.

All your pictures should be oriented in the same direction (horizontal is easiest.) Place your images in a sequence in Imovie - alter the duration of each image to your preferred system. Export your finished movie as a Quicktime movie, FULL QUALITY DV.

You may work with a partner if you like. There is no preferred duration, but try to choose your subject in such a way that your piece has a logical start and finish.

Shoot a selection of pictures that either have no focal point or have a single, strong focal point. Then choose an example of repetitive, multi-layered instrumental music, and set a segment of it to image-loops. Music that is easily understood as "loop-based," but that possesses some degree of change or development works best. (i.e., techno, IDM , serialist composers).

Your goal should be to communicate visually the densest possible selection of music. Consider carefully how and when you ask us to think of your piece spatially, temporally.

Consider when chaos or order are more called for. Work to vary as few items as possible as you introduce new beats or musical elements to create harmony and unity across the piece (or make your 'disharmonious' choices intentional and event.)
