Sciss Cut was three quarters of my February; short, spontaneous and sort of unfinished. Under the made–up genre ‘algorithmic moving image narrative’, it was created to accompany the music track Sciss Cut composed by Yiannis Eliades.
The basic algorithm written is based on Principal Component Analysis. It interrelates a collection of geometries of familiar objects, compressing the set of data into simpler components that hold information about the whole.
Starting from rigid environments and progressing into a forest-like setting, the algorithm unlocks a possibility space where the initial set of objects can be re–created or new fictional objects can be found.
