Radical attack on the cinematic order of images
With tx-transform, objects depicted in a film are no longer defined as images of something that exists concretely; they become conditions in time. The digital realization of this technique in no way influences film's special character as a fundamental model of order and perception.
Film's organic physical, physiological chemical constants make it a historically and technically comprehensible medium, and its technological basis has not changed in decades. Part of Martin Reinhart's work consists of questioning established norms, tracing them to their origins, and manipulating them in new ways. In doing so, the goal is not solely an archeology of the obsessed inventors and artists whose developments and innovations have lost their significance and are now forgotten, as this effort also represents a search for and identification of visual phenomena which stimulate our perception as an elastic and alterable matrix, thereby providing a glimpse of the incredible potential available beyond standard representational techniques. |
