Project Detail

Optic Run

Synopsis

This project focused on the physicality of screens, interrogating how we experience and engage with the immaterial. The feeling of overstimulation, prompted by the flashing of lights and blaring of speakers is what I aimed to capture in my film, envisioning how this overload of stimuli travels to the brain.
