Limited Fork Video Anthology

Digital quilting of interior images (by Shaelyn Smith) and exterior still & moving footage (by Thylias Moss) of the demolition of an historic University of Michigan building in the further documentation of an exploration of the nature of what contains and the nature of what is container, a dual & simultaneous possibility, the status of container or contained determined by perception prevailing at the moment of perception (the eye of the beholder). The complex textures and structures revealed through the irregularity of details in the stages demolition as captured by Shaelyn become visual metaphors for intangible qualities of experience associated with interactions with the physical space. An understanding of internal and external systems of structural integrity associated with Frieze become more revealed (or exploited) as the building is demolished. The patterns of the demolition offer aesthetic qualities that should not surprise as the mapping of these patterns through Shaelyn's digital lens reveals repetition and similarity with patterns related to stabilizing systems as well as to other destabilizing systems. Without Shaelyn's work, an ability to study these patterns would not exist.
