Drug Den, 2001

Drug Den, 2001. SD video with sound 5 mins. Soundtrack by Sonofapup 5 min

A camera-based, remote characterisation system investigates and transmits film from a wooded clearing. As the vehicle manoeuvres in and around the clearing, a scattering of paraphernalia for 'getting high' becomes evident. The video was filmed syncretically, whilst listening to a partially slowed electronic music track by Sonofapup, which guides the rhythm of filming and is included at normal speed in the final video.
