Amadi
Amadi is a generative video created using Processing, Java and sampled video. Loosely inspired by John Cages Overpopulation and Art, Karl Sims Evolved Virtual Creatures, Vladimir Todorovics Silica-Esc and the traditional religions of the Igbo and Yoruba, it explores a series of antagonistic relationship and competing interests in a virtual world. Its fatalistic narrative evolves from simplicity to a near stochastic complexity to eventual destruction. The equipment is necessary as some of the source materials for the will include no more than 5 minutes of live action. A sound component created in conjunction with the video is being considered. In addition, as part of the process of documenting this stage of the project I would like to collect one hour of a video journal.
