Project:Hypersensitive
Client: ScreenLab residency
Date: 2000

Hypersensitive is a series of 50 video portraits revealing different notions of time in relation to the physical body. Subjects were asked to sit for 2 minutes in front of a Sony DV camera. The footage from these video portraits was then processed using Max/MSP and Nato. Tiny imperceptible movements in the subjects' faces were revealed by applying rapid stuttering and repetition between successive frames.

Hypersensitive was commissioned by Lumen as part of the Screenlab Residency Programme at Leeds City Art Gallery. Hypersensitive exists as a 4 screen video installation and DVD.
