Slide Stories

“Every society produces its own space.” Henri Lefebvre

The familiar street was unrecognizable, now coldly anonymous
Grittiness and visual chaos wiped clean in reflective glass
Now all slick surfaces and flatly repetitive geometries
In reverie, I'm drawn into the refuge of abstraction.
all that remains of the past is surface incident.

Slide Stories is a jQuery project that examines urban space and focuses on surface incident as a way of exploring sense of place. It investigates the visual morphology of the changing urban environment and links physical surroundings and psychological space.The sequenced images change tempo and reframe as the animation loops, altering intersection of image, text and audio. The animation starts when all images and sounds have been loaded.
