Those Final Adjustments, Super-8 film/video, 2003, 10
mins, live sound.
This is a 'collage' film, as most of my work, visual and musical,
often is. It is a non-narrative collection of travel shots, personal
ephemera, with bits and pieces of my visual graphic work included,
it also includes 'treated' film and direct animation.
I like to think of it as a homage to Len Lye and Stan Brakhage.
My music is mostly improvised and distinctly contemporary
and electro-acoustic, using acoustic instruments
(mostly Hawaiian guitar) treated live
with digital equipment.

Nick Ostrovskis,
Flower Animation, Super-8 film,
1988, 4 mins, silent.
No thorns. Flowers are animated, bright colour. Slow moving relaxing
images. Kaleidoscopic. In one section flowers slowly sprout into each
other and disappear. With colours pouring towards you and then away,
in a psychedelic cornucopia ...

Gestalt,
computer animation / video, 2003, 5 mins
4 dimensional quaternionic fractuals are visualized by projecting
into 3 dimensional space. Instead of modeling objects or scenes
of human imagination I tried to experiment with the visualization
of pure mathematics. For this work only the variables of one formula
(x[n+1]=x[n]^pc) were changed. It took me about a year to get an
idea of the transformations and shapes which could be expressed
by this formula, another year was needed to render the sequences
which I wished to use ...

Filmic exploration
of the texture of my hand with and without camera, with maintaining
the hand/skin theme the methods of film production are changed.
Hence not only is my hand shown in various ways but also different
possibilities of filmic representation are discussed. For the
sound I audio-scanned my hand with the cartridge of a phono player,
the resulting sounds were rearranged to fit the images.
Videohaut / Video Skin, video, 2001, 5 mins
The effects of feelings transmitted by a machine (vcr+tv-screen)
made visible through scrutiny of the receiving human's skin. One
may see traces of an intimate human / machine relationship ….
