Trichromacy, the condition upon which humans perceive color, is a fundamental exploration point in "Tri Repetaé" the on going series of videos created by artist Fil Rüting. Sampled from iconic film, the videos contain ghost like figures in shades of red, green, blue, moving within a stationary camera space. These images hint at a sublime subtext within the original sampled narrative releasing the imagery from the restraints of its linear form, by continuously cutting the frame in overlapping time.
The Title of this video is "Dreamtime", the collection of stories and morals that make up the spirituality of Aboriginal Australians. This "Dreaming" for Rüting forms a root basis for considering the subject of his homeland Australia. All the imagery for this video was sourced from Australian cinema and the narrative implies an insight into the darkness and beauty found in the people and land it depicts.
Fil Rüting is an artists from Sydney, Australia living in Los Angeles.
Dreamtime (ti Repeté) is also this month opining in his first solo show at WPA Gallery, Los Angeles this month.
Light and time are connected. We know this. Video at its core, is light plus time. Different images moving through the same screen, occupying the same space created by a shifting cathode ray tube. A beam of light moves across the screen, creating the images and creating time.
The idea of moving through time but staying in the same space is a central theme explored in H.G. Wells, The Time Machine. Cutting and re-ordering the words and moments from the 1960 movie, this piece is a meditation on the themes of video, time and time travel. Simultaneous time lines, audio and video streams, video editing, and the beam of the cathode ray tube all form the mechanical parts of my own personal time machine.

What would be the mundane realities of a fully networked future? What is going to happen when electronic implants become as feasible as pacemakers or breast implants? Body 2.0 is a set of 5 medical cases and 1 conversation that focus on unique features, uncommon banalities and possible absurdities of our near future, where our actions are integrated to the internet, and where new paradigms exist for privacy, social control and human interactions. Beyond optimistic and glossy visions of the future, this video investigates our dependence on technology and our complex evolution with it.
