Experiments in Moving Drawings

Louise used to work is stop action film. One of her projects was, Experiments in Moving Drawings. This can be found on her Tumblr and is a short film by her and Joshua Sullivan. Louise also creates the music. This video was not exhibited or shown to an audience is a professional setting but in stead was posted for the enjoyment of her Tumblr followers. The video is very different from her other work. Although she uses elements of her collage in this piece it is mainly an experiment in stop action and a play with noise. I found that at points, some of the images looked like Rorschach test, with blotches of random colors. The patters in the piece go from very simple to more complex. Combined with an odd clock like soundtrack the video is a playful homemade piece. Although this work may never be classically exhibited it is a useful piece to show the variety of Despont’s work. It also is an excellent example of her use of social media and excitability to her viewers.
