Hello Michael, This is just one section of the video – the same
video that the other sections I have uploaded are from. When the
video is shown on its own (as in the upcoming TINT Arts Lab
exhibition), a few text documents are necessary to contextualize
the “video task” within the whole project and to explain the whole
project. But the video can also be presented amongst all the

other work Akhil and I have done.
So that I understand fully — there will be one video piece and
miscellaneous other material which comprise the exhibition?
I ask this because it feels like there is a different aesthetic
at work in this video (or rather, this segment of the one video).
If there is truly just one video, this would not, in my mind, be
a problem. If, however, you were going to have multiple videos
playing at the same time, I would be interested in knowing how
many other videos and what aesthetic they exhibited. I think that
this video (or rather, this segment) is different enough in
visual organization to warrant either a leveling or a
multiplicity of style… Keeping in mind this entire paragraph is
moot if there is just one video to be shown…
Hello Michael, Thanks again. All video sections that I upload are
part of one long video – a single channel work. I think you’re
getting at one of my main problems with the video thus far – that
there are different aesthetic expressions at play in the various
sections. The introductory section (the first one I posted) was
made way earlier than the other sections I have posted. A lot of my
upcoming posts will have an aesthetic more similar to these later
sections – with the moving windows, the text-to-speech voice, the
revealed lines of movement. I feel as though I should make the
original section more like these new ones, but I really like how
the original section feels, flows, functions. One possible excuse I
have to keep it as is is that it deals with more personal issues,
while the newer sections are more historical/theoretical/general. I
also have a section that covers Akhil’s family military history,
and I’m thinking that won’t have moving windows etc., perhaps even
no imagery at all – just Akhil’s voice. For now I plan for that to
be the last section of the video.
The tone and pacing of the segments does vary. Maybe you could
have some kind of common interstitial that bridges every pair of
segments — your own test pattern as it were. This would provide
the viewer a common frame of reference that would tie the entire
longer piece together.

Andrew — this video is meant to be shown with the other and the
text documents in the exhibition?
