Online Video Poem
According to description on Playgallery.com, this video created using a sequence of images taken with an MRI machine of a live snail. But the images taken with the MRI abstract the snail as the machine revolves around it, so at first you are presented with an abstract object which, as the video progresses,"morphs" its way into the recognizable "biological structure"- a snail. This video could not be interesting without the compelling movement and coloration. The morphing takes you on a pathway to recognition that allows you to think about perspective and the power it holds. Along side that, the colors, although probably not chosen, have a unique aesthetic quality, and also engage you to watch as they also "morph" and change from one to another. I feel that the movement and overall composition that this video exhibits overall can be a good example of poetic gesture through video compositions, whether it was made to exhibit this quality or not.
