In REENTRY, Michael Joaquin Grey plays with a unifying metaphysics of the micro, macro and media worlds. In his new computational cinema and film objects, he re-envisions critical moments in culture and phenomena.
Projected on-screen as a synaesthetic sculpted object of image and sound, “Perpetual ZOOZ” captures a 3D palindromic object molded out of The Wizard of Oz moving in a mobius orbit as the film plays out in space as well as time. A synaesthetic ecosystem, “Reentry”, creates simultaneous exponential relationships in form, space, media and human development. “Rereentry” is a silent cellular film visualizing past, present and future simultaneously within a matrix of animation `cells’ forming the larger body of another film. In the “The So What Moon Calendar” Earth orbits the Moon.
For the past 20 years, Grey has been creating work that extends and plays with the boundaries of both art, science and media. His investigation centers around the origins of life, language and form – as related to natural and complex systems.
